Well, you get MAYBE 7 years on a $1500 computer and about the same (or more) on a $400 console that plays many of the same games.

PC isn't in the "console" category either. It's used for much more than simply playing games.

I like computer games. The community is much more broad. But, it comes at a higher pricetag.
