PC's and consoles are two very different things... as nubius says a console is a dedicated system and isnt running all the crap that a pc does... at the same time the PC has higher specs..
I love my PS2 to bits, fine the graphics may not be as good as my PC or an xbox, but for me it is about the playing experience, the PS2 has the best controllers IMO and by far the best selection of games... plus the graphics arent bad... i was impressed by the graphics in Burnout 3 & San Andreas and from what I have seen of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3: snake eater the graphics on that look awesome and the graphics from Gran Turismo 4 also look ace.
Basically you cant dismiss any console or PC they all have their own merits... personally I dont like xbox because I dont think the graphics are that much better for all they are hyped up, i hate the controllers, i dont like a lot of the games (IMO HALO is the worst game ever..., its so dull and was hardly ground breaking when you consider all the amazing fps that were already out on PC), and any good games that are out on xbox you can pretty much get for PS2 (which I enjoy playing because of the controls)
You cant really say PC > Xbox(2) or vice versa because the PC will always be better at a lot of things than an xbox... i dont think you will ever see an xbox running 3dsmax or allowing you to surf the net, while using msn messenger, typing a word document and listening to mp3s. Having said that, the xbox2 may kick the PCs arse in gaming (for a while), but PCs are upgradeable and therefore for the 4 or 5 years that the XBOX2 will be in commision the specs of PCs will get higher and overtake it!
