There are things consoles do a lot better than a computer, regardless of how good your computer is. Also, if your computer is manhandling games it's probably has a bigger budget than the consoles did as well. As for the PS3, I hear sony won't be making any money off their actual system for a while. Using blue ray and some other stuff was a big no no, but sony likes to mess good things up so it's no surprise. Not to mention half of the games that are produced for the consoles will never see a computer release, so in the end you can brag all you want about having a great computer but you won't be playing all the games on it anyways.
