Consoles are really good at what they're supposed to do: play games.
However, console makers are now trying to get some of the functionalities of the PC to the consoles. They are trying to capitalize the presence of consoles in the living room, being output of the centerpiece TV. So now we see Netflix services on 360s, for example.
Now, a person *can* use an HDTV as a PC monitor, but I doubt it would be on the center of the living room. You wouldn't want housemates to look over at what you're typing when you're posting at VGChartz, or chatting with someone on IM.
Heck, you wouldn't want an Excel chart being displayed on the living room, would you?
PC games on the living room, maybe okay. But the PC has so many functionalities that it actually goes against being THE living room centerpiece. And it's a hassle to plug/unplug cables and stuff when you want to play PC games on the living room, and go back to the PC den when doing work.
This doesn't diminish what PC games can offer. What I'm just saying is that they have different territories. The console is more of a family stuff. When I log in to the PC it becomes private -- and I want my privacy respected.
