This is exactly why console games take an arcade turn, and it’s what I call the “twitch” factor. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of some console games and they can be quite fun. I just don’t believe a console has the interface to handle a real simulation to the caliber of SH or DW.

Your post is filled with complete misconceptions. I’m currently building an entirely new Core 2 Duo machine from the ground up to replace my old PC (that has lasted me for 5 years now), and I’m doing it for a lot less than I can pick up a HD LCD or Plasma TV. You don’t need 2 graphics cards to run games, especially if you do some homework before buying. The cost of my new CPU is very close to what I spent on my P4 2Ghz 5 years ago, so buying a dual core doesn’t double the price
The #1 thing PC has over consoles is the upgradeability. I can always buy a faster CPU to throw in my machine if I need. I can always upgrade the video card or go SLI if I want to at a later date. My PS2, Xbox, and GameCube run and look the same as the day I brought them home many years ago.
