So very true. For example: an AMD Athlon running at 2.4GHz can outperform a Pentium 4 running 2.8GHz.

As for the whole heat/noise/dust issue, you really think they'd develop a chip that runs that hot and not come up with decent cooling? If the make the intelligent desicion and use copper heatsinks, they'll be quieter than you think. As for dust, open your PC: the dust in there could fill a hoover bag. Comparatively, consoles are uber-clean.

And cost won't be a big deal. PS1 on release: £300. PS2 on release: £300. Get the feeling PS3 on release will be £300? SImilar for the XBox.
