To be honest unless you MUST haveHalo series games or Gears of War series games, the PC, Wii, and PS3 is the way to go...
If you get a good family PC, you could easily put a good graphics card and PSU in there and then it becomes a decent gaming PC. That just leaves the consoles. PS3 is worth getting for it's exclusives and the online is free. In addition, it's the best media extender since it supports more formats than the Wii and 360 AND it's a blu-ray player. Then you got the Wii that has it's own unique Nintendo branded line up of great games like Galaxy and Brawl. It also has Wii Sports for those who are casual gamers. That leaves the Xbox 360. I don't know about you guys, but if I have a decent gaming PC, I'd rather play Mass Effect, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead or any Valve game on a PC as it will run better on a decent PC (by todays standards) and MOUSE + keyboard destroy a controller. The only people who don't think this are the ones who've never played that many PC FPS's to begin with (I started on CS 1.6 so you should know where I'm coming from).
So that's it:
PS3 for exclusives
Wii for exclusives
PC for RPGs, RTS, and FPS

Got me there :P but in all honesty the 360 for most people would be better than a PC because unless you have pc gamer friends (or you play alone), chances are most gamers you know will own a 360 or a PS3. The PC may have better content, graphics, free online, user created content, and dev support, but my 360 is a cheap alternative that a lot of my friends have. I love knowing that I can pop in Gears of War 2 and always atleast have one friend playing so I won't have to play alone. Same goes for my PS3 when it comes to Killzone 2 or COD:WAW. I only know 2 PC gamers, and they are annoying and obnoxious and not exactly the type of people I would like to game with. Also, I personally hate using kb/m for gaming even though a lot of people love it.
But to get on topic, I own a Wii for the few good exclusives it has and so my younger brother and I can play non-violent games together, my 360 for exclusives and some multiplats, and my PS3 for exclusives and most multiplats. My PSP also gives me a lot of great games that I can play where ever I go. Sure, a gaming PC would be nice to have but I just don't have the money for it and I wouldn't have any friends to play with.
yeah that's the thing. The Xbox 360's strength relies on the online users who play games with their friends and many people value that. For me though, I've met a lot of nice/cool people online playing some of the free rpgs or other types of games and because it's PC where it's way easier to communicate (because of the keyboard). The convo's and chats, usually always end up being more hilarious/interesting than if I were to play on xbox live with friends. The ironic thing about all of this is people claim to praise Xbox Live for it's features and I happen to not give a crap because I just want to play online and that's it. It's not even just me. I had 3 roomates last year and they played on live way more than I did. People across the hall played on live a lot too. We all NEVER use cross in-game chat or even care about chatting online with people. They just play the game and own noobs, lol. In fact, I don't even really hear people use the mic that much and when they do, they don't usually say anything worth hearing anyways. Anyways, I can see how people would value owning a 360, Wii, and PC over a PS3, Wii, and PC. It's clear though, that it's not the best combination for getting the best games.
