I have some better ones:
5. Portability. You can take your gaming on the road or on the couch, your choice (Even on the toilet!). Much better than a handheld and a console, because a handheld is too lightweight too carry it around in contrast to a small 4kg gaming laptop and playing on a couch with a 15-17" screen is more enjoying than playing on the tv.
4. Flexibility. If you don't like something you can change it, try that with a console game. Mods can make for a personalised experience. You know what you want, and chances are someone else does too so mod away! And most mods which substantially change things in those games release only 1-3 years after the game, so you have nothing to do other than getting the game (see point 3 + 1) and wait a bit.
3. Dozens of free games to play. Try games like Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2 for free.
2. Technological Prowess. You don't like jaggies in your favourite game? Kill them! You want a faster frame-rate, buy a new graphics card for the price of one console every 12 months. And if you have a laptop, you don't even have to bother changing your graphic card, just buy a new laptop. With a console you'll invest once per gen and can put your money in good software.
1. Direct Download + cheaper games. You're a hardcore gamer and you buy a lot of games? Great you can download a lot of games for free and you can play them without disc checks. So watch out for Steam sales, torrent sites and fill up that hard-drive!

Fixed the things you wanted to add but were too lazy, so you don't have to edit your post yourself ;)
Anyway.. of course i still need a gaming PC, i still gotta do some excel/word/working stuff to do at home.

5. Jesus... Handhelds aren't consoles. Decent laptops come with the same HDMI connection you can get with any console if you want.
4. So what? They are still valid games to play 1-3 years down the track.
3. Torrenting sucks. People who do it are assholes.
2. You can trade off resolution and graphics settings for AA. Also current high end gaming laptops have significantly more performance than the PS3 and/or Xbox 360, your choice.
1. Again, torrenting sucks.
