Or just has a 199$ xbox 360 that covers most of PC big games, like Witcher 2 etc and fits in his living room better than a huge PC

Hmmmm, really? I dunno what definition you learned, but that's a pretty wide spectrum right there.
Anyway, mATX would be a way to go for a smaller form factor.
Even then i would have to buy a new PC for the living room, since i work on my PC and cant be moved for gaming there
Also a smaller PC case is still far bigger than console and there is always the problem of keyboard and mouse games and windows interface that are not so sofa compatible
I generally have zero desire to have a PC to handle for gaming, i just want to pop the games in 360 and play, no installs, tweaks, drivers, DRM etc etc and pad controls for all games, that is what the best experience is for me
- A Micro ATX case with an APU cna be SMALLER than a console.
- There are wireless solutions that can take vidoe from your PC to your TV.
My friends all thought gmaing on console was more "convinient" and speedient as well. So we made a little test. We went to my house and I told them, that when we get in we'll try and play left 4 dead on both the console and PC and see what is "most convinient".
It went like this:
Got in to my house and my friend ran past me toward my xbox. He turned on the console. In the meantime I sat down on PC and wiggled my mouse so that it turned on in about 1 second. My friend was still loading up the xbox by the time I double clicked left 4 dead on my steam list.
When Iw as ready to play, in game, he was now realizing that the left 4 dead DVD wasn't in yet, so he had to get up and look for it. I told him where it was. By this time I was already in a game, blowing zombies apart.
He finally loads up left 4 dead. By the time he was in the game, ready to play, I had already got an IM in-game from a friend who wanted to play star craft 2. I was able to load it and join the game with him before my friend was playing left 4 dead.
The reality is that PC gmaing has become moe convient that console gaming, in a lot of cases.
And personally, I'm rather busy, and I'd rather spend my time ACTUALLY playing games, rather than waiting for consoles to boot, looking for DVD's and then waiting for their glacial loading times.
But that's just me.
