Aside from 360 reliability-- which is and continues to be a HUGE issue (one I had in reserve just broke last week, way out of warranty, already repaired once) what is the objection that PC gamers have to the console? Is it the expense? Living room space? What?

PC-only gamers tend to be of the opinion that:

A. Mouse and keyboard is such a superior input method that they are being physically and mentally tortured if they are ever put in a situation where they have to use anything else. Driving a car must be hell for them.

B. If they're not using the absolute most bleeding-edge hardware they can afford, their gaming experience is being somehow hampered. If they're not seeing the most pixels at the highest possible framerate, playing games is pointless.

Note: There is some hyperbole above. But this is basically it - PC-only gamers either believe very strongly in mouse/keyboard, or they feel they need the latest hardware. For many of them, both are true.
