Spoken like a true ignorant. PC gaming is cheaper for a "hardcore" gamer because PC games ARE cheaper - they often come out at $40, $30, $20 instead of $50, and PC games drop price much faster than the rest. I just bought World of Goo for $5 on Steam, how's the Wii version priced?

I didn't mention piracy, and your argument says more about you than about me...

Interestingly, most PC gamers seem to look at the Wii with positive eyes, including myself. I think the Wii is a great complement for the PC.

If, for some chance, you own a PC that can play all the latest games, and do it right, then you have a point.  HOWEVER, as it is now, I don't need new hardware to do ANYTHING now, outside to play games.  So, I drop down $1000+ for a rig that would be able to play the latest games in a decent manner.  So, that means I am now out $600+ more than if I went the console route.

How many games does one have to buy for this initial cost differential to be offset?
