There is absolutley no point whats so ever for buying an Xbox now. With Microsoft making games for Xbox as well as the PC there's point in getting a Xbox if all the games that you want on it are to come to the PC a month after.

Nearly everyone has got a PC in their homes (otherwise we wouldn't be chating here now) so they don't need another console just for the games and the DVD drive because the PC has them all.

Also the PC won't catch fire if left on all day unlike the Xbox, which offers only a measly one hour 0f gameplay until it burns throught either the table or carpet.

So basically all you have to do is:
1: Wait an extra mnth for the game you want
2: It saves you £5- £10 pounds on a game
3: It saves you £150 on an Xbox (which could be used to buy a new graphics card instead
4: Can offer all day gameplay without burn marks on the furniture.
and 5: You can use the DVD player without paying another £30's on the controller.

This time I want positve responses from people who agree with what I have stated

No, my friend owns almost every new console and decided that he wants an Xbox for just one certain game, which he knows is coming to the PC, but his PC is crap so he can't get the game for it. I just came up with the topic from this but in a different perspective.
