Your argument is sound, but there are exceptions. At home I have a PC hooked directly into the TV via HDMI, playing 5.1 (not 7.1) natively. No 24" monitor. The girlfriend plays World of Warcraft on it when she doesn't want to bring out the lappy. 1920x1080 resolution, nice fast graphics, and a wireless keyboard and mouse to drive it all. Granted, consoles are a LOT easier, as in "plug and play", and setting up the PC does take a while, and for most things a PC is overkill for a home TV, but it can be done, and isn't that difficult. That doesn't stop us from having a PS3 plugged in, which does everything the PC does, but is just easier (and faster to boot). The PS3 is sexy, and "just works", the PC is big, heavy, ugly and doesn't quite fit behind the TV. However, for some people, plugging a PC into a TV is the "norm".
