console + keyboard/mouse = $X
top of the line computer system = $X + a very large amount.
cheaper gaming, and the games are sure to run flawlessly.
if anyone here has seen the graphics from final fantasy 9, then you will all realise youdont need a kickass system to display videos so well.
the son playstation 1 had the processing power of my left sock and still sold millions of units.
good marketing? you betya.
oh and thank you WANTED_AE86, i hate scrolling side to side 
thanks mate

What the hell are you on about?
Console: $300 + the memory card + extra controller (unless you plan on just playing single player).
That should be about $400-500ish (and thats now prices have dropped a bit). Also, the console needs a TV, but we'll ignore that for now as everyone has a TV.
Decent gaming system: $1,500 - $2,000.
Now, look at that!? Looks like the console totaly ownz the PC... but wait! You need an internet ready PC too, to do all your interneting. Also, word processing and stuff.
So...
Half decent computer: $800-$1500.
Lets say I want a good computer. The Gaming system will only be about $500 more than it for a pretty decent one. Suddenly, the PC is the same price!
Let's look at the advantages for both shal we?
PC:
- Keyboard + mouse ( = teh ownz) AND a console controller AND a Joystick!
- Nice 17"-19" LCD monitor (much better for gaming than the TV)
- Easy internet connectivity and usualy easy internet play
- Access to most of the better games from consols
- No need to hassle whoever is watching the TV
- Access to more complex, in depth games
Console:
- Easier use 2 player on same screen
- No worries with compatibility, hard drive space, or drivers ETC.
- Access to games that where not released on PC. But limited to whatever brand conole you got.
The gaming isn't cheaper. If you already have a PC, it's about the same price. In fact, if you already have a decent PC, it's more expensive!
So in summary:
Console = for teh noob.
