While I still feel the cost of PC can't be judged on gaming alone, there is no doubt that consoles on a whole are cheaper. Sure you could build a cheap rig for the cost of PS3. But it wouldn't be very future proof, and there is a good chance it would struggle depending on graphical settings. You can snatch up a console, a couple of games and controllers for the cost of a decent PC. Not having to worry about upgrading your hardware down the road for new games also drops the cost in comparison to a console. Lower cost of entry means more people are likely to adopt it.
All in all there is a lot to be said about console gaming. PCs and consoles both have pros and cons making it easy to see why we have fans of one and not the other. With consoles trying to be more PC-like as of late it seems someday we may see some sort of hybrid of the two.
