In fact, the PC can sometimes cost MORE because of upgrades you may need. No offense, but I think that unless you actually have a dual analog controller for your PC, platforming games, as well as adventure games (like gta), play like crap. I'm all for PC first person shooters, but I can't stand a game like Grand theft auto on PC.
And as far as "improved graphics and multiplayer", you can only improve the graphics so far, considering it will be a port of the console games, not a completely redesigned game in itself. And as far as multiplayer goes, Xbox Live and Playstation Network just give Grand Theft Auto a bigger boost in specific. If you play on Xbox Live or PSN, you get direct uploads to global leaderboards, rankings, and the ability to chat with your friends directly without a third party chat server like Ventrilo or Teamspeak.
With everything said above, you could see why someone would just give the 400 dollars for a Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Most decent PC's cost in the ballpark of 1,000 bucks in order to run Crysis on even medium settings, and not to mention, you have to constantly worry about viruses and other things slowing down your machine.
Edit: Oh, and as far as your Playstation 2 goes, I've only had to get a new Ps2 once, when they changed it from the larger version to the "slim version". I've never had a disk fail unless it was too scratched up, and I know for a fact that they released demo discs seasonly for about 5 dollars a disc if you didn't recieve them with some sort of Official Playstation Magazine.
That's why the Playstation 2 still sells just as high as the Xbox 360 and it's next gen counterpart.
