I say console gaming. Even if it has become more complicated lately, with installs and such, buying a console will still give you a good 6 years of support without any modifications or upgrades. With a PC, you buy top of the line hardware, within six months it's average, within another six months, it's outdated.

This is completely untrue.

PS360 are obsolete too, you know, and have been for a while.  The difference is that in the case of PCs, you have the option to upgrade, even though it's not necessarily required.

Yes, the PS3 and 360 are obsolete and have dated hardware. But for the full console lifecycle, developers will be developing for that obsolete and dated hardware, whereas with a PC, you may have just bought the NVIDIA GeForce 6600, and then a year later you won't be able to run any games until you get the latest hardware, the NVIDIA GeForce 6700 or 6601 or whatever.
