Hm...I use my PC to play video games, and LCD monitors are basically HDTVs, especially now that they're in 16:9 format. Thank you for starting your post off with this definition. It saved me the time and effort of having to read through the rest of your post.

Yes, you can use your PC LIKE a Gaming console. But A PC is not optimized for gaming only, and is therefore NOT a console. I explained this in my OP.

@ everybody asking the point of this thread.

I created this thread as a predicessor to a thread that I plan to create once everybody here has come to a general consensus as to what a PC really is. At that time, the intent will be revealed. Belieive me, this is not to troll on PCs as they ARE a viable gaming option. I'm just trying to get the VG chartz community to agree on a few things.

and the PS3 isnt a gaming console either. Its a multimedia hub, according to Sony.
