Support after 4 years or so? How many times do you think you will need to upgrade your PC just to hope to get the same performance as the console? PC's cost thousands more just to play games. No upgrades needed if you use it for the reg office work, and have the consoles for games. Someone give a better argument than this, or that "as long as there are PC's..." Give an argument with technical and econimical advantages. You CAN'T!
The difference between a PC capable of playing modern games and any other PC does not exceed the cost of a console, you can buy a 7800GT for $300 which will play anything out more than reasonably at high settings, and if you choose to run at the same resolution as the 360, it offers obscenely fast performance because consoles are limited by the display. It does not take the same amount of processing power to play COD at 540x384 is it does at 1600x1200.
Then how come consoles look just as good(in this case better) than PC's and run at smooth framerates? No one is annoyed when a PC stutters? No one wants a consistent gaming experience? To keep that up in a PC, you need constant hardware upgrades. Not in a console, and a console looks just as good or better, ie Xbox 360.
