Why do they always say, "Get a PC"?

What sense does that make? If someone were to switch to a decent gaming PC, which costs quite a bit, if I understand correctly, then they would have to replace their entire collection of games, which again, costs quite a lot. Also, if they have a functioning console that they're happy with, why get a PC? Sure, there's mod support, and the graphics tend to be better, but consoles are still playable, ancient tech aside. So please, enlighten me as to why getting a PC is a logical spending decision, because I'm not seeing it.

    Well considering you'd have to get a new console in order to keep up anyway, you'd actually end up saving money by buying a PC. Unless you enjoy disgustingly slow PC's, you need to spend at least 300-350 on an everyday PC. The consoles coming out will be between 300-400$. That's a minimum of 600$ for both, or a maximum of 750$. At 600$, you can make yourself a very good PC. At 750$, you've got a great PC. You use the PC for both work and gaming. For people like me, who need a powerful PC for design anyway, that's a no-brainer. PC games are also 10$ cheaper right off the bat. That's not even considering Steam has insane sales. Then you'll have all that great stuff you mentioned consoles don't have. Just L4D2 alone has so many mods, I doubt I'll ever get through them all. Honestly, I have a hard time imagining why people [i]wouldn't[/i] want a PC. And if you've got a Mac, and still think a console is more worth it? I'll start to consider you might be delusional.
