Even at $10 more per title on average, you'd have to buy ten games to even add up to a $100 difference.

Truth is, the vast majority of console owners don't even buy ten games over the lifetime of the console. And that total typically includes discounted games. By the time most consoles go to mass consumer pricing, there are budget priced titles as there are with the 360 currently.

And that brings up the other aspect of console gaming; the consoles themselves become cheaper, which not coincidentally is when sales figures for hardware tend to pick up.

When I can pick up another PS3 for under $300, or a 360 for $200, that won't buy me a PC; it will buy me a decent video card.
