I also want to add there were a couple of games in the 90's that made me get a whole new PC. This may not make as much sense anymore, but in the 20th century, the PC had a huge crapload of great exclusive games that never made it to console.
Civilization 1 - I convinced my dad I needed a PC for college, but the main reason I wanted one was to play Civ 1.
Ultima Online - I bought a new PC with the latest modem (56k baby!) to play Ultima Online.
This is why I sometimes say, you can charge any amount for a console as long as the games are good enough. The PC has had some fairly incredible exclusive games over the years, and I've known people (not just me) to get a new PC to play a certain game. Gaming is first and foremost about games. If your system has great exclusive games, then people will want to buy it even if it is a really high price.
