What about the cost of the OS? Add another $100. The hardware between PC/consoles can't be compared directly with each other either. Consoles are optimised for gaming, they aren't standard CPU's, there's extra buss lines, there's no separate video card so no PCI buss to deal with, etc. We'll have to wait and see how much better the consoles will perform. Disclosure: I have a gaming/media PC with a $400 video card connected to a 50" 3d plasma, and a PS3.
