What res are you running at with your PS2 or XBox? Compare that to running 1280x1024 32-bit color with a relatively cheap Radeon 9600. Yeah, you may be able to get the console for cheap. But you also lose a lot in the way of peripherals (no keyboard, no mouse, no standard surround sound, etc.). And, even though you can make up for some of that, you'll still be playing on a standard NTSC or PAL TV instead of a nice CRT or flat screen. I think PCs will still be around for quite a while as gaming platforms. Once consoles go HD, then maybe but I still think PCs will offer a lot for quite a while.
