It is more expensive than both the X-Box 360 and Nintendo Wii combined, and it doesn't have as many promising games either.
i agree with this post, but here are some more points.
yes you are stuck with a console when you get it. but it is compatible for every game on that system, no?
my pc isn't compatible with every game and it is fairly new (and with upgrades) most computers also have a limit to which you can upgrade to. for example, mine can't go past a gig of ram. computers are also more expensive than videogame consoles(if you want a good one) and aren't always designed for gaming(unless you make one yourself or buy from a brand like alienware, which runs as high as a couple grand) and within a year, your computer could be outdated; example, all those dual core, and new processors for the new OS's out there.
also, it was probably over/under-exaggerated, but videogame consoles generally come out every 4-5 years
