They basically stated that now that console games can play online it is going to kill the PC game industry because you can just buy a console instead of spending lots of money on a decent PC and good graphics card. What they didn't take into account is that there are plenty of good graphics cards out there that really arent that expensive and on the other side although the console like XBox may only cost you 200 bucks you also have to spend over a grand on a good television set to get the level of detail to match a PC monitor.

Right now, sure. But HDTV prices will continue to drop as they become more popular and become the standard. It was just a couple years ago they were in the $3000 price range. PC gaming, while superior in many ways, has the drawback of high initial costs, sometimes buggy software, and need to upgrade regularly with parts that are still more expensive then a console alone. Whereas a console will last 3-4 years and the TV 10-15 years. I won't even get into the number of games available for PC compared to consoles.
BESIDES, this isn't about PC vs. Consoles. It's about PS2 vs X-Box.
