Poll: Why do you use the gaming platform you use?

[Xanadu84]

I play PC games, because...Tradition, the fact that the open ended nature of the system means it is a more natural platform for unusual, innovative indie games and mods, I find mouse and keyboard exponentially better then a controller for over 99% of games (And practically the only option for some whole genres), I need a computer anyways so its cheaper in the long run (And steam deals save me even more money), and I love digital distribution. Also, I'm tech savvy enough that the hiccups in tech arn't a big deal, and am not overly bothered by ports.

I play on the PS3 because I used to have a PS2, and you can play Ps2 games on the PS3. Shame they didn't work very well.

I play on the pinball because of the exclusives.

It's really great.

My primary platform is the Xbox 360. I acquired mine for Christmas at least five years ago and have been a faithful fan ever since. My reasoning is simple. I play a lot of multiplayer games online and from what I've seen the 360 has the easiest method of doing so. I also find that every single one of my favourite video games are on Xbox or even yet are Xbox exclusive. Also, I already have a blu-ray player so the PS3 (my runner up choice) has little pull for me.

Before, I played on the PC because I desperately needed a desktop computer after my old 2004 computer crapped out on me. I thought, "Why not build a gaming computer since I play games?" And here I am. Now I primarily play on my PC because I hate the thought of seeing people and shopping for games (Steam and Amazon solved that issue).

I also play on my Xbox 360 now and then, when I have the batteries.

I play primarily on my PC as it allows me to purchase whatever I want without considering whether it's suitable for the rest of my family, and because it means I can play whenever I want, no waiting around for a chance at the TV.
