Which do you perfer playing games on more Consoles or a pc?

To me it would have to be a console, because I mostly play sports games and imo sports games are better suited on a console then they are on a pc.

PC, Consoles are heading towards a watery grave. It's not like in the old days when computers really werent meant for games and the days of side scrollers, or games like DOOM that could be played with a controller.

Todays games require the use of a whole keyboard and a mouse to easily navigate through. I HATE using a controller to look around. It sucks basicly. I just wish Killzone would be released on PC, god that would have been a killer PC game!

Agree. There was a time where Consoles and PC's were two diff beasts altogether but ever since the PS2, XBOX and GameCube consoles have taken on a lot of PC characteristics, especially the hardware aspect. The PS3 is pretty much a modified version of a PC, with USB Ports, Media Card readers and a laptop hard drive. Matter of Fact its prob easier to turn a PS3 into a PC then it is any other next gen console out on the market right now.

Logitech came out with a wireless keyboard for the PS3 a few months ago.

PC. Consoles are aperently over 15 years behind PCs, Halo 3 has a thing called Forge that you can use to build your own maps (the catch is you need to use their designs, you cant build a map from the bottom up), something PC games have been able to do since the 1990's...

Well that's due to the developers choice and not soo much the consoles themselves considerign that all the next gen consoles are are pretty much modifed versions of a gaming pc.

Granted pcs have far greater potential than consoles. You have full control of what is in the box and what software is run on it, but consoles have still got them beat. Because they are proprietary (not sure what word here) platforms, all of their parts are mass produced and bought in bulk. This makes the consoles much cheaper. There is no way you can build a pc comparable with a ps3 or xbox360 for the same price.
