Plus you have to consider location. a kb/m on the couch is useless, and with a console you can retain your current bigass TV/audio setup, a PC most likely is at a desk with a smaller screen and shittier speakers..
One of my desktops makes a good internet browser/SNES emulator/xvid player for my TV, the other makes a good fileserver.

Neither would make a good gaming PC, they're still from the AGP era.
