Certainly when I was big into gaming, yes. Pretty much the only people I knew who had PCs at home were folks with very solidly middle to upper middle class careers. They were essentially business tools and luxury items for well off people.

Where as most of the kids who were into video games, even some of us poor / lower-middle class kids, had at least one of the major gaming consoles. Like $100 - $200 for the consoles, and "computers" were often 10 times that price or more. Plus there was a second hand market for consoles, where as the second hand market for PC/computers was very limited.
