Actually, given that you can buy an Xbox 360 for roughly $200, they have pretty decent graphics for the price you pay (although of course a $500 custom built PC will do better).
You are completely right ZeroRacer, the cost of computers is going down and down, while the power in PCs continues to increase. Moore's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law) is absolutely holding true.
It's important to also note, however, that although the cost of hardware is continually going down, software is constantly becoming more and more expensive (at least as far as games go). Or so it would appear.
