That's not to mention IQ for price.
Without buying a $US2000 HDTV, the highest resolution you'll be able to use with a console is 684x486 (disregarding NTSC/PAL differences) -- and that's with a lot of video options hardwired in. A liberal guess would be that Oblivion on X-Box 360 would mean 2xAA and no AF.
Compare that with a $US200 CRT, which can run at 1792x1344, has loads of color correction options and a relative size that can't be beat, and when paired with a card that has a decent amount of video memory, can put astounding amounts of AA and AF onto the image. Let's also not forget that PC also automatically means more settings -- I truly pity the X-Box users who have had to play Morrowind with linear lighting for the past four years.
