Out of curiosity, mind listing your PC's specs here?
Have you even read the specs for the PS3?

doesnt matter what his specs are, he definately doesnt have anything remotely close to blowing any next gen console out of the water. Not. Even. Close.

That's what I was trying to get at
No one that reads the specs for the PS3 who understands anything about hardware goes around saying "my pc BLOWS it away" ...
I've invested a pretty penny in my own personal PC, and upgrade constantly to keep up with stuff, but damn, my PC right now is no where near "blowing away" a PS3.
Another thing to chew on. Think about how much money you will need to build a pc right now that is close to a PS3? Nvidia 7800 GTXs in SLi, quite a pretty penny to upgrade, and you still won't be "blowing away" any of these new consoles. Then think about how much money a PS3 will cost. Hell, you could buy an Xbox 360 and a PS3 and still save as compared to building a top notch SLi rig from scratch.
For what its worth, I love pc gaming and FPS on PCs. But I also love consoles, and if someone wants to save money by buying a console, then more power to them. At least they are playing ...
Picking a side is plain fanboyism ...

Ummm, it is a PowerPC core. Unless it is running at over 10Ghz it doesn't even come close to a current Athlon 64 or Pentium 4.
Even IBM, the manufacturer of the processors has stated the Xbox 360 should have twice the power of the older xbox(a Celeron 733Mhz).
And the GPUs are really equivalent to the best NVIDIA and ATI have to offer, but not SLI'd. SLI would be almost double the speed of the PS3's RSX graphics setup. It is based on the NVIDIA current G70 GPU, and NVIDIA is already mass producing the G71(faster) GPU for PC cards as we speak. They should be in stores within a month. NVIDIA has also stated it's next generation chip, the NV50 will debut in the summer for PCs.
So, in 6 months they will already be two cycles out of date as far as video cards, and the CPUs are slow, that is where both Sony and Microsoft cut costs since they spent the money on the GPUs.
Its very simple, the cost to compete with a PC in performance for a console would be too much of a loss to hope to make a profit from the game licensing fees. When you buy a console, the manufacturer loses a couple hundred dollars. They hope to make the money back on the sales of the games. If they were to actually sell a system that is competitive with a modern high performance gaming PC, they'd be losing around $1000 with each sale, and could never hope to make a profit in the end.
Where consoles have the benefit is fighting games. For some reason they never took off on the PC. Otherwise, with a few exceptions, the best console games are also available for PC. Usually the best games are available on all gaming systems, including the PC.
The game I played on my xbox most was House of the Dead. I like light gun games, and of course those are only made for consoles, and very few at that. Of course, now my televisions are incompatible with light guns, so I'm at a loss, except for the one company with that imperfect solution. You can buy light guns for the PC, too and play arcade games with MAME, but I've had an LCD for a long time now, and they won't work with that, either.
