I have been comparing the PS3 and the Xbox on this blog. I guess its time to do a PC comparison with the console system
To start, the PC is very upgradeable, where as you can buy a not-so good computer and upgrade it into a better one with out buying a new computer. The consoles are some what upgradable in terms of memory, where as you can buy a bigger hard drive, but that's about it. The PC you can change a plethora of things, such as RAM and the graphic card of the computer.
Also, the PC has more things to do on it then the consoles. The web browser on a PC is the standard, where as the one on the PS3 is mediocre at best, as it is slow, but serviceable in case of an emergency or a quick look at something. (The Xbox 360 doesn't even have a web browser.) PC can play browser games, instant message, and more.
Usually, there are not many console exclusive games that the PC doesn't has (in terms that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 both have it, and the PC doesn't have it. This is very uncommon). In fact, it is quite the opposite. There are many games that the consoles don't have (or couldn't play very efficiently) and the PC does. Starcraft, World of Warcraft, Torchlight, are all examples of games not on the consoles.
On the other hand, consoles are much more streamlined in terms of playing games. Just plug it and play. Not many other features to worry about, as consoles are designed to play games. Also, some PC are not very good, and can not play most games, where as the consoles are going to play its game not matter what, because all the games are made for the same graphic capabilities, which all the consoles are made by. No 1 gb RAM PS3 which won't play some game because of its RAM. This is the case with the PCs.
It just depends on how you look at it
