"Times have changed though, the PC has much more taken the backseat. Most games I was interested in in the past would usually hit the PC first, now they usually hit the consoles first or aren't even released for the PC at all."
In the past PCs were leading, not always the IBM compatibles (which sucked at gaming and pretty much everything else as well during the 80s), there was also the Amiga.
Nowadays the PC is lagging behind with regard to common technology as well, namely Blu-Ray disc and heavy multi-processing (the Cell). Considering the support and large userbase, the PS3 has become by far the most interesting gaming solution to me.
Grown up with the Amiga, I always disliked the inefficiency of Windows, Windowa software development and legacy compatibility related trade-offs (such as MSDOS and x86).
A console provides the perfect oppertunity to lead frog and ignore such problems like Ken did, so that's also a reason why the PS3 is so interesting to me.
