The cost of buying a new PC to be able to play the latest games exceeds the cost of a 360. Customisable PC's can be built by yourself providing you know what to buy. PC's are outdated within two years. 360 price are falling. Another 360 price cut is going to arrive in NA soon.

Not everybody buys a brand new computer when they only want to replace something like their video card (assuming they have a custom rig as oppsed to something like a Dell). My video card is like 4 years old and has been decent enough to display games (with some effects turned down) and getting a playable frame rate.
As somebody who plays games on the computer, I'd much rather take that $350-$450 (Premium or Elite. No way I'd get a core/arcade), the money I'd have to spend to play those games online through Xbox Live, and at least $10 per game I'd save ($60 console vs $50 PC new) and put that into upgrades (such as a new video card). So, what reason would I really need a 360 for?
Also, don't forget that PC's aren't just for games so the cost of upgrading isn't completely wasted just on games.
