Well actually, you can attach keyboards to all three consoles and for the PS3 you can even attach a mouse to it.
Yeah, but it's almost useless for the Xbox and Wii. Unless you're playing FFXI, and seriously, who plays that game?

And for the PS3, I could write my 5 page English essay on it using the web browser and an online word processor like Google Docs.
You could do that easier on a PC. And print it!

And as far as I know, I believe Xbox Live is more popular than Steam.
If it is (and I have my doubts about that statement, considering Steam is used for many of the most popular PC games out right now), it would be because Xbox LIVE is the ONLY option for online gaming on that console. Not the case with PC, where the options for online gaming are more than a person could count.

And as for the party chat, i feel that 8 people is enough because I rarely go above 5 people in party chat.
My clan has been limited on more than one occasion by the 8-person limit. It sucks compared to Vent, TS, and Xfire. Admit it, and we can move on.

And it's not true that consoles aren't upgradeable. With the exception of the Wii, the hard drives of the consoles can be upgraded. The firmware and the OS can also be upgraded. Even the hardware can be upgraded. Newer Xbox 360's have an extra fan and heatsink to prevent the 360 from overheating. The new 360's also have a new type of motherboard which is better than the old ones. And in the case of the PS3, consoles are also downgradeable.
Yeah, but can you upgrade an Xbox 360 or PS3 with a new video card, RAM, or processor? And by you, I mean the consumer.
...Exactly.

But unfortunately, console upgrades are only carried out by the companies that manufacture them. You can't upgrade consoles by yourself. And Microsoft doesn't usually do huge hardware upgrades to the 360 cause they still want all the consoles to be consistent so that no one player will have an advantage because they have a faster and better graphics card.
Ignore the fact that the PS3 has better graphics capabilities. Yeah, go ahead and throw that thought out the window.

And as for PC's, I'm pretty sure you can't upgrade the CPU either without buying a new motherboard. It's not like if you have a Pentium 3 PC, you can swap that for a Core 2 Duo.
*facepalm*
Did I not say that if you're a console kid who doesn't know wtf he's talking about, stfu about any topic related to PCs? Did you even bother to do any research on the subject?
Lemme lay it down for ya. Certain processors are made for certain Sockets. If the Sockets match up, the processor can be upgraded. For example, my processor is an AMD Phenom 3400. If I wanted to, I could upgrade to any processor that uses Socket AM2+. With AMD's architecture, I could even move on to socket AM3. Though I wouldn't reap the rewards of having a mobo with an AM3 socket in it, it would still be an upgrade.
Same with Intels. If a person with a Pentium 4 wanted to make the move from a 2GHz P4 to a 3.8GHz P4 (which would be a pretty big upgrade), all he'd have to do is find the one that matches his Socket type.
Well the same could theoretically apply to consoles where if Microsoft made a new CPU, for the 360, they'd incorporate it into all future 360's. And I don't care if PS3 has better graphics are not. I'm talkin about the 360's having the same graphics for every system.
