$130 will match or beat any console in terms of graphical fidelity.

let's be serious here. Buying a console will guarantee you to have at least 5+ years of playing the newest game on that console.

Can you say that to a PC that costs around the same price?

That is why console sales are up, while PC gaming are down.

Thats a pretty ignorant statement. When the PS3 came out at 600 bucks, I could easily make a 5+ year gaming computer not counting the monitor with that amount. Great thing about the computer is that virtually all software made on it scales. Crysis on medium is still technically better than anything you got on consoles.

Furthermore, if your smart you wouldnt spend the same amount of money on a computer as a PS3. In general the better computer you get now, the more money you'll save for not having to upgrade later down the line. So if you're serious about making a gaming PC, then yes, your computer will be guaranteed to play all the newest games.

Also, PC gaming industry is going up, or have you not been paying attention at all.

Ya I built a 3500 amd with a 7600 gt super clock for around $ 500.00 a year and a half ago and I could play crysis and cod4 on it but it looks like crap  adding a &130.00 graphics card or even a $200.00 card would still be slow because of the cpu needs a total upgrade to run crysis right!

 6600 quad core' 8800 gt would get you decent results still crysis might look better on medium  then on a console but still wouldnt be all you can be with out a serious upgrade.

And there's no Graphics card from 5 years ago that could handle any games today besides the cpu and the system memmory please tell me your kidding?????
