Average console gamers just don't build their own PC's its that simple. So in my opinion this really isnt a viable option for the majority of console gamers. And certainly Not at the ~$300 - ~$400 price. This pretty much sums up my issues and arguments on the matter. Its not about consoles vs PC's, consoles are stupid or whatever (i really dont know where you got that from?). So im out. My point is clear and still stands.

Well. For starters... 99% of people already have a PC.
99% of PC's built in the last 4-5 years just need a new graphics card (Sometimes a better PSU) and they can then play games at medium/high quality settings.
Upgrading a PC is so easy, AMD demonstrated a monkey doing it, I'm not kidding...

Also if you look at anything that's a Core 2 Quad/Phenom 2 x4/x6 @ 3ghz or better, you're pretty much set for any game if you pair it up with a several generation old Radeon 5850 or better which can be found cheap second hand, and would still slaughter at 720P.
Then factor in the fact that games are cheaper... And I sometimes wonder why consoles even exist.

That is exactly right. Consoles are great and I cannot wait for the PS4 (I need me some more Killzone NOW!). However PC's are so cheap that consoles are in danger of being squeezed out of the market...
