Games like Flight Sim X should also be released on consoles to play them just attach a USB keyboard to your console and play Simulation games easily with great gfx.

No, Consoles<PC. Consoles can be played in bed while relaxing. Multi player games are so much easier:D

You can play while relaxing on PC if you get a decent comfortable chair, and if you are relaxing too much in bed then you must be tired which means you wont be able to play the game properly anyway :p.
Multiplayer games are actually just as easy or easier on PC than on consoles, there isn't much difference. If you mean multiplayer as in on the same console/PC, that is just as easy too, you can buy more controllers just the same as you would with PS2 ;).

+ Points of consoles:
No compatibility/performance problems with games
Umm....erm... any more?...

+ Points of PC:
More games
Free games
Less loading times
Patches
Use of the mouse (FPS games and games like Football Manager are nowhere much better on PC using the mouse)
Easier to chat in in the multiplayer games, you can use the keyboard
Ability to record in-game stuff with video capturing software
Ability to take screenshots
The PC can do more than just games

PC > Consoles
You are right in some point lets compare its price

PS3 = 30,000 INR
360 = 22,000 INR
PC = 60,000 or + INR

Consoles are very affordable if you compare them with a Gaming Rig in a Gaming rig price you can get PS3 (60 GB) and atleast 10 PS3 games.

Well, I'm not to sure about Inidian prices, but I can give a comparison of a home-made PC and a PS3 in English money.

I bought all this parts from a local seller, having taken my moniter from an old PC and speaker, mouse, keyboard etc from a friend for under £10

Graphics Card - ATI HD 2900XT - £120

Motherboard - AMD something, can never remember, £20

Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster Surround Sound, £15

Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2.8 GHz - £80

Cooling system - £10

RAM - 3GB (3 1GB sticks), £100

Hard Drive - 350GB Hitachi Super, £35

Add all this up, and this pc costs £380.

Cheaper than a PS3 and a heck of a lot more powerful.
