I guess in the end it comes down to perspective. Here in Australia keeping a PC updated enough to play the PS3/360 ports is massively expensive. Perhaps that will change in a year or so once PS3/360 games start to really lag behind the PC in terms of performance. Of course once it becomes that noticeable, there won't be as many cross-over games.

That doesn't change the fact that there are those willing to build PCs for games, enough to buy over a million copies of a game that has the most intense hardware requirements of any yet on the market.

Should we have excluded the ps3 a year ago because it was "too expensive"?

I don't think your quite getting the situation here in Australia.  The PS3's price (while expensive), doesn't even begin to approach the cost of a gaming PC, whether you build it yourself or not.

In addition, PC gaming simply isn't big here at all.  There are other factors of course, slow internet, console dominance, but price is the big one. 

The PC section at my local EB is twice as big as the ps3 section o_O

They have a whole wall of PC crap and then just a little dark corner for the ps3.

I'm quite sure the PC platform is more popular than the Gamecube or PSP ever have been down here. You wouldn't leave those systems out of comparisons like this now would you?
