Consoles are much cheaper. They are also a lot easier to use. No need to install an anti-virus, worry about having the latest drivers, or having background programs eat up all the resources and thus receive a bad gaming experience. Also, the time it takes to boot up a console and start playing takes seconds. Booting up an old windows install on a HDD takes forever. Superior hardware on the PC, sure. But it's locked behind a mountain of drivers. On the console, you can get much more direct access. This means that some stuff is actually faster on XBox360 than a brand new 7000 series radeon.
