Console vs PC Gaming

Always a widely debated topic.

For me, PC gaming wins, very easily. In FSPs, i just prefer the feel of it a lot more and i have more friends who play the games i play on PC. So it just became my choice.

What does everyone else think? Why is console better, why is PC better?

Personally, I prefer the console.

You can't say one is indefinitely better than the other, I believe it really depends on which game you're talking about. For more sensitive fully 3D environments, like Team Fortress or Call of Duty, it's much easier to use the omnidirectional mouse over analog sticks. However, with still other games, I don't think you can do well playing an arcade fighter with a keyboard, or an adventure platformer, that's more suited to a console. You can buy PC controller plugins to solve that problem, but all the ones I've seen are light, cheap, and fragile.

I prefer PC gaming. There are more opportunities to mod the games if you game on PC.

on PC it's easier to aim and since a mouse is very sensitive it translates to easier sniping, also since most computers have a microphone built in you can have alot more in tactics...

Consoles. Just never liked PC gaming.

Myself it depends on what game I am playing for example if it's a game like Sims or Halo Wars then I would prefer to play it on the PC however for games such as Halo and Call Of Duty I prefer console gaming.

Consoles. PCs just change too constantly and keeping up with the the recommendations as they come out is too expensive IMO. All of the current consoles are outdated, but you don't have to constantly feed them money to keep them performing well and they still look fine due to the software optimization that unchanging hardware allows.

However, I do think it's about due time that we move on to new consoles considering the current ones are nearing 5 years old and the good looking games tend to struggle in frame rate a bit. And by new consoles, I mean a complete performance (and directed at MS, reliability) upgrade. That's kind of why I was a bit disappointed with this year's e3. PlayStation move, Kinect, and a Wii with new paint. No thanks. The only thing that got a performance upgrade (and which I'll probably be buying) is the Nintendo 3DS.

Consoles. I've tried PC gaming and it didn't feel as natural as a controller.
