Consoles, with a smattering of PC classics here and there.

That's the way it has always been for me, and I do not expect it to change anytime soon.

My computer chugs away, trying it's best not to catch fire, while running a web-browser. There is no way I could even home to run anything more demanding than FFVII on it (It is the only game I have fully played on my PC that isn't 2D).

So yeah, in comparison I have a shiny PS3 sitting next to my TV.

Yeahhhhhh, console wins in my houseold

I prefer a colored box connected to the back of of a television. I'm going to play Old Republic and currently play WoW, but I prefer something that keeps me a tv addict. The controller. A smooth, cool controller in my hands, plastic surrounding it's many mysterious insides. It's what makes gaming feel like gaming to me. That's why Kinect scares the shit out of me. I like a controller, Kinect takes that away from me. At least with the Wii and Sony's Move you hold a controller.

I prefer an analog stick over a mouse if I had a choice

I like my console for Partygames / Fighters / RPGs / Racegames / Platformers
I got my PC for Shooters / RTS' / EVE-online / Soldat
What about Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Morrowind?
They're better on PC.

I agree with the rest of those, though. Especially party games. PC isn't the most social platform.

When I mean RPGs on console, I mean stuff like FireEmblem / Final Fantasy

I prefer Oblivion / Fallout 3 and Morrowind on my PC.
Anything with a crosshair needs a mouse imho. ( and I like my archery with Oblivion/Morrowind...)
The only console games wich involved shooting that worked where Goldeneye on the N64, Timesplitters 1/2 and the Metroid trilogy.

I can honestly say that when I was younger I played solely on PC, but the past decade or so I have traded that in now that I can afford consoles. I prefer controllers to the keyboard and now that I have the money I own all of the consoles out right now so that keeps me occupied.

Which do you personally game on more, a console, or a computer?
Consoles are computers too! D:

If you mean console vs PC, I'm a PC gamer. I love me some consoles, but you can't beat the versatility and customization (both of the hardware and of the games themselves) of the PC.
I didn't say PC because there are Apple gamers out there, and you know how sensitive people who like Apple computers are.

If I have a console port of the game, I play on the console. If I have a PC game, I play it on the PC. I don't really prefer one over the other, with the exception of FPS, which, no question, work the best on PC.

PC. Controllers are good only for fighting and racing games, none of which I play very often.
I dunno about that man, you really can't generally get the same level of precise control on keyboards that you need for platformers, fighters, racers and most general 3rd person games. Just like you'd be dreaming to think you get the same level of accuracy in FPSs on a controller as you do with a mouse.
Sorry if I was unclear. That's exactly what I meant; you can't get that level of control with a keyboard. I was saying that controllers are good for those games.

I'm more of a console gamer...but I'm tapping into that sweet, sweet meat of PC gaming.

I just got done a playthrough of KOTOR2, completing my first PC game since Spyfox 3, I'm heading to DOOM 3 next then maybe a MMORPG
