If it were me I'd look at the console and games available and see which shouts out "I must play that".
I pretty much gave up playing PC games a while back due to the constant upgrading every 6 months so I had the latest uber kit to play games as they should be played. I estimated I was spending over £1000 a year keeping up to date. In one year I spent over £3000 which was very stupid of me.
About 3+ years ago I decided to ditch PC gaming and instead go down the console route. I bought a PS2 and have not regretted that choice since.
Simple reason is I can go into a shop and any game marked PS2 will work perfectly, no upgrading woes, no worrying about frame rates with the current specs on my system etc.
When I eventually buy a HDTV I'll definitely get a XBOX 360 or PS3 depending on the games I really want to play at the time. Reason is I know I'll get years out of a console and not have to worry about upgrading the damn thing six months down the line.
