The above was precisely the reason why I bought a console.

Buy a console, then upgrade your PC - since a PC is always in need on 
constant upgrade to keep up with the latest versions and power requirments 
of buggy software/games.  With a console, only upgrade is when a new 
console comes out every 3-5 years now.  Its alot more portable, and only 
needs a TV to hook up to.
