All of this also depends on propriatory games.
I purchased NGC just to be able to play games such as F-Zero and Metroid. None of those games will be made for other consoles or computer. Same goes with Tekken and FF games (except FF XI - which I don't have)
Now that they will lower price of XBox, I'm thinking to get it just to get some of propriatory games for it too. .
I forgot third reason I like consoles. :blink:
It is nice to play games in living room on bigger screen.
