...and the price of new graphics cards is? Extortionate the last time I checked. The latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX680 is almost $700 at PC World.
Not to mention, graphics aren't the only thing you need to upgrade. RAM is important as well, and processing power.
So yes, you can get better graphics on a PC, I don't think anyone here is arguing that. What you can't get on a PC is a cheap environment that will last years, and which all games are designed for. If gaming were all about the graphics and hacks, your argument would be valid. However, for me, gaming is about the overall experience, and that includes the story, the interface, etc. I can get all that for a lot less hassle and cost on a console, and with Xbox Live, I even get downloadable content too.
