Well, you obviously don't understand the point of a console.
The point of a console is that you have one standard machine that you will never need to upgrade in a 5 year lifetime. All games you buy for the machine will work, and you never have to "upgrade" to be able to play a game.
This is exactly what casual, and indeed hardcore, gamers like about consoles. Rather than pay up to £500 every 5 years to have your PC upgraded to play games, with consoles you don't have to worry about installing games and upgrading- you just have to buy a new console for £300 every 5 years.
Of course, PC games do have their role amoung the elite- genres like FPS and RTS games just can't be made as well on consoles. However, many of the genres that used to be the attraction of the PC are now done better on consoles.
Add to this the fact that many developers are now switching from PCs to consoles (at the Develop! confernence, the cheif speach was my Peter Molyneux on why he had dropped PC games altogether!), and you see that your point about "Xbox sux" are making no sense.
Oh, and good point about there being more games than on any console... however, in terms of how many games are released a month, consoles have massively overtaken PC games.

idiot.
Now, if you'll qualify why the Xbox is worse than a good PC in terms of GAMES (after all, true gamers only look at games, not console specs), then I will qualify why you are an idiot. deal?

Everyone's judging the Xbox so much.
Just stop it!
PSX, PS2, N64 etc... they all didn't have great launch titles or peripherals, but now look how well they progressed?!
You must all learn to look ahead - look at the future!
