I'm not sure I understand your argument for switching. They have worked very hard to make sure even very old systems can run HL2. You may not have the hardware to run it on full settings, but it will still look better than any console on most gamers machines. Also, it is usually considered a benefit to have the option to push the settings farther.
You don't have to upgrade, but even if you feel compelled to, keep in mind that new consoles come out every few years also. You may be set for a year longer, but the best you can achieve is set in stone.
Good luck to you in whatever you do. Like I said, I just don't see those points as being valid in my case.
(P.S. I change PCs on the rate of every 2 years. When I do upgrade, its for all sorts of software, not just gaming.)
