Better communication platforms - Keyboard, Ventrillo/Mumble/Skype for voice chat - much higher quality than the low quality VoIP for console.
Just the graphics alone is enough to make me never want to play console.
It was first released on November 11, 2006
Graphics processing is handled by the NVIDIA RSX 'Reality Synthesizer', which can output resolutions from 480i/576i SD up to 1080p HD.[42] The PlayStation 3 has 256 MB of XDR DRAM main memory and 256 MB of GDDR3 video memory for the RSX
Compared that to a reasonably priced graphics card for PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814202008
Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
GDDR3 vs GDDR5 
256 MB vs 3GB |
All of those things you said are true, but you failed to mention something.
It could be considered a more enjoyable gaming experience to lay back on the couch with a 55 inch screen, and a wireless controller.
Also, when it comes to graphics, I don't think that many people care if a tree looks more real, or less jaggy. I'd rather play a good, crappy looking game than a pretty, empty one any day. Far Cry 3 has both, but I just couldn't care about graphics any more.
