Cheaper games and free online make a big difference over the course of a generation. Upgrading a PC after you already own everything is fairly reasonable.
I will always need a PC for other tasks. It makes much more sense for me to own a powerful $800-1000 PC - instead of a weaker $400 PC and $400 console. The initial price is essentially the same. It's much more powerful for gaming as well as daily computing. Cheaper games and free online add up over the course of the generation.
