Laptops and my linux machine (Zotac ZBox) aside, I've built all my own PC's. Most people can't be bothered to do that so they're stuck with a budget off-the-shelf PC that plays like ass, the sticker shock of a pre-built gaming machine, or the nice, friendly, affordable console.
Makes the choice pretty simple for them.
Personally, I like being able to type in my cheat codes on a real keyboard

But, for 600$, I can build a PC that is way ahead of any console. Sure, that is double the price of a 360 or PS3, but with the money you save on games on steam compared to console games, the comp pays for itself. I can't build my PC for that, but my PC is ridiculous, and future proofed for the next 5 years. Dual HD6990's, i7 960 extreme (OC'd to 4.2ghz), 16gb RAM, 180GB SSD, and 2 10krpm WD Raptor HDD's, all in a raid array. Plus i've got video recording hardware, bluray burner, and three screens. Razer Blackwidow ultimate, a 16 button mmo mouse, and a 5 button FPS mouse, both Razer's as well.

Plus lights. Lots of lights. Straight outta Fast and the furious.
