Ok, I admit, you're right. We can have a COMPUTER that will equal the power of the cell, but then again, we have servers using the Cell processor so its not that different.
As for having a PC that you can play games on...that'll take a while. Macs have traditionally been overachievers in the proecssor area, abd Intel and AMD processors cannot hope to match their power right now.
I like both PCs and consoles too and basically for the same reasons as you. I just built a $1200 PC 2 months ago and I intend on upgrading it even now. Even when I have a console, I'll be making my PC better. But I'm just saying that the consoles shouldn't be put out of the question. These things destroy our PCs in power.
