"can't compete with computers built at the same price point."

Show me the computer built at a $279 price point that plays CoD4, please. The PS3 is only comparable to gaming PCs because of Blu-ray.
Sure, but I need to know what specifications you want first. Do you want a PC without a hard drive that will most likely die within a few months, and can only run COD4 at ~1024x600?
As long as it can run the OS and save games with no hard drive, with a 10% failure rate or less. Also it has to be guaranteed to play the latest games for at least 2 or 3 more years.

Oh and my cousin is a little stingy, is there a model that runs a different OS that isn't as powerful but has a sub-2% (or 1%) failure rate and is insanely popular, guaranteeing many good games for years to come? It doesn't have to play DVDs.
Hey can you point me to a console that has Crysis graphics, can let do my work on it, has backward compatibility for 20 years old games, the mostversatility, the best controls, has the best versions of games, the best online, the cheapest games, the most and best games, the....

 You can never expect a modern console to match up to a modern, top of the line PC in hardware, ever. But why do you think Ubisoft recommend you play Assassin's Creed on a PC using a Xbox controller? Console games in general are made with the controls in mind, the exception being FPS games which are superior on a mouse and keyboard.

The point here of course is that I don't have find a console with superior controls over the PC. I would never ever say a PC is better for playing racing games, frankly controlling a car with a keyboard is probably one of the worst ways to play a racing game.

And I don't have to show you a console with Crysis like graphics, because all I have to do is point my finger at one of the great looking games on the consoles and chances are that your PC won't have the option of playing that game.

Have you ever played a PS3/360 game online? Because I find it a lot easier to go online with a game on a console than on a PC, and it is also a much better experence, but that's just me of course.

The best games? Holy crap, I think you are starting to spin out of control here. Halo 3, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Burnout Paradise, just to mention some of the console exclusives.
