Not really a valid argument since most people already have a TV to plug the console into. A PC, on the other hand, requires a separate monitor: it's not like you're going to just hook it up to the screen in your lounge. Also, a normal TV's sound can suffice for gaming whereas a PC needs dedicated speakers.

Besides, even if you do fork out for big-ass gaming screen you can still use it as a standard lounge TV.
