There is nothing that can be called a PC-console. It's either a PC or it's a console.

A PC played with the TV in the same style as a console. Happy? :P

I do that all the time. Still a PC ;o

Yeah I beat you do =) But consider this (and this is all based on stats I saw here a while ago, but that I can't bother to find ;P):

about 30% of all gamers are under 18 years old

about 30% is between 18 and 30/35 years old

and about 30% is over 30/35 years old

Now, using a TV for the PC is (mostly) only available to those between 18 and 30/35 since they might own their own TV's and don't have to share it with the rest of the family. So about 60% of all gamers wouldn't be able to use their TV's if it were hooked up to the TV. You're not actually playing all the time on a PC; you're visiting pages like this one. So that would mean you're gonna have a PC for playing games and another one for surfing the internetz? I don't think so.
