I play on the 360 for almost everything except mmos right now. I used to solely be pc user but since there hasn't been any good mmos worth playing console gaming has been great. I still love my pc but with a 40" hdtv gaming is awesome.
PC all the way for me. The only console that I have is a Wii and I never play it. The computer is just a superior gaming platform in my opinion. I really dislike game pads for everything except sports games, and I have a gaming pad for my PC so there is no worry there. Mouse + keyboard is just too awesome in FPS's to not use. I also do a lot more with my computer than just game so keeping the hardware up to date is well worth it, and I love tinkering with it anyway.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike Loved: Star Wars Galaxies Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
I found myself playing console games until very recently.
I love RTS games, and so I played Beyond Protocol and while waiting for a good battle, I would switch to console. However, the guys who wrote Beyond Protocol came out with a new game called Star Alliances. I think that PC game companies are learning that we don't have all the time in the world. Star Alliances solves this by having you focus on just combat. I personally love it because I can just move my units back to the home system and log off not worrying about being attacked.
I tried to do RTS on the console, but the controls are just crazy. So Star Alliances is a good move for me. I am currently playing for free and its very addicting. So I will probably buy the game outright. But for a free online game, its a good choice for me.
It will simply take me longer to get through the levels on CoD4 now, which is fine, I prefer the space combat of Star Alliances I think.
I am torn between the two. When it comes down to MMO's I will almost always choose the PC, but when it comes to FPS, RTS, and RPG I can't stay away from the console.
Down to the core, Im a console gamer. I have used my PC much more the last 5 years though. The thing is if some one came up to me with a gun and told me You have to pick, console or Computer, I would pick console and I would even pick Nintendo. Only because of Metroid & Zelda. Its worth only playing 1 game every 2 years if the games are that amazing.
Once all the companies start releasing MMOs on console think of what you're going to have to deal with, since the majority of console users won't ever have a keyboard you are going to have to listen to all of those people talk. To picture this correctly take the annoying people you've listened to while playing games like Halo, and combine it with the annoying MMO chat you see (maybe picture something like WoW Barrens chat). Now just think of how terrible that alone will make a game.
I like both.. Used to prefer the PC, but since a lot of games don't come out on the PC, I had to catch up on different games and decided to bought myself a X360... Don't regret the choice since online console gaming made some pretty big improvements.
Console gaming is a lot more fun than PC gaming. MMORPGs are what makes PC gaming worth anything. I always preferred Nintendo's consoles, but I like Sony's Playstation too.
Hi! You can say that I'm a hardcore pc guy cause I have been playing MMORPGs since the release of Ragnarok Online in our country. For me I prefer online pc games because of the community. If I want to play single player games then I will choose consoles. ^^v
I used to be pretty hardcore about PC gaming, but anymore I just play a MMO on my PC. Aside from anything Blizzard (Starcraft, Diablo etc...just love their games)
Most games I play on my 360, just because I love my HD and my couch. Plus a lot of my friends don't do PC gaming, so it's a plus for me there too.

I'm a PC man myself. I've owned an Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Virtual Boy (my fav), Playstation, XBOX and XBOX360. I've never been too big into console just for the fact that growing up my parents wouldn't spend money on me because they feel it's a waste of money! I had to buy most of everything I had and at the age of 16 it's hardcore.
I had to stick to online gaming through MUDs then eventually MMO's and I never looked back. Nothing beats online experiences with other players and only now has consoles really started touching what most of PC's have done for many years!

Hi! I just want to share my opinion. It all depends on what you want to do or play. If I want to play single player games I use consoles while I use the PC for online or multiplayer games. For me they are both great. There are features that the other have and the other doesn't. The first games I have played were on consoles and soon it introduced me to PC games. I owe it all to both PC and consoles. ^^v
Not long ago i would have said both. However, lately ive found myself playing a lot of PS2 and Gamecube games. Due to the lack of quality MMO's and considering most single player games are released for both, PC and console my PC updating days are coming to an end. Ive been considering a PS3 or Wii for quite sometime, PS3 has more games i would like but the Wii has Zelda . May have to have both.

PC gaming all the way cuz you can make the PC your all in one entertainment appliance
when I was little, cosole gaming was the best, just lying in your bed and jamming your thumbs on the pad all night...
10 years later...PC gaming is the best, a keyboard to jam your whole hand on...and no more "thumb" carpel tunnel syndrome...

Mainly PC gaming, however I do find games like the Suikoden/FF/Chrono series pretty awesome console games to name a few.
But yeah either one is cool I just end up playing on the PC more, and I like the TV to be on while I relax with an MMO at the end of the day xD

Console games are so much better when you are playing on a 52 inch lcd tv with surround sound speakers.

Primarily PC gaming, though I have been known to play my 360 from time to time... Sadly it's underused considering I have some quality games for it.
i am much prefer to play in pc..pc game i guess ^^
especially in terms of interaction like online community, mmorpg and other online games makes me feel that i am in to it!!
yeah!! o.O
Almost every game is better on a PC.

I like both. That's all I can say about myself.
I use both although I would say I tend towards the PC more than the console.
I've had every console since the Atari 2600/Intellivision 1 though. Actually had a Pong console first though I don't recall who made it.
I use the consoles mainly for sports games, interactive games(guitar hero type stuff)
The PC for my MMO's, RTS's, and Turn based games. Oh yeah and work, lol!

I'm more a PC gamer, mostly MMOS.
But once in a while, I like to pick up my DS and get away from my comp... Yeah, I know, I'm hypnotised by screens.
