I don't think that PC gaming is going to offer an experience that is worth 3 or 4 X (or more) the money over consoles any more. A mouse/keyboard and the "intimacy" of the monitor is not going to be enough to justify spending $1000.00 or more over what a console costs. I personally feel this is going to trickle down and eventually hurt the hardcore gaming pc market. This may explain why Nvidia has diversified it's product offering outside of just GPU's the last few years- they see this coming.
