I think PC tards are a bit over confident in some cases.
If PC's are so superior, why are there a constant stream of PS2 and xbox style USB controllers being made for PC, to replace keyboard and mouse?
Because they're not the most efficient of controllers for all games. PC gamers acknowledge this and usually have other controllers.

Why do no consoles bother with a keyboard and mouse peripheral if its so superior? PS2 had a keyboard usable for FFXI Online for PS2, and even had a gameshark input keyboard and what not. They can do it, but dont...why not PC tards?
Give them some more time. As consoles drift ever closer to becoming PCs themselves, they will gain keyboards and mice of their own. Also, see previous answer. The keyboard is the obvious choice in some genres, and doomed to failure in others. Those that would be doomed without generally don't make console appearances.

My console may not be as graphically superior as the latest PC that cost almost $1000 more than my next gen console, but it also doesnt become insufficient after 6 months or after a few crap-tastic driver patches from Microsoft, or a constant stream of viruses and auto-aim bots that PC gamers love.
If you spent an extra grand over what a console costs and killed it after six months, you're doing something wrong and you spent way too much. I spend maybe that much every couple of years to keep both of my PCs up to date and game-ready, or roughly what a console user would spend, and, since I know my systems inside and out, they run in peak condition. I realize fully that's not your point, but I don't care at this point.

Also, is your PC monitor a 72" wide screen and support gold plated HDMI cables and display in 1080pi with surround sound? NO
Surround sound, yes. I was an early adopter of that, and you're welcome, because early adopters like myself allow for the continued refinement of new technology. Eventually, it makes it's way into everything else, like you precious... whatever console you have. Also, if I had a 72" 1080p wide screen with HDMI, you can bet I'd be using that as my monitor, even though it would be a step down (detail-wise) from my 1536p 21" standard screen with DVI.
Oh, HDMI evolved from DVI. Next time you meet a PC gamer, thank them for that.
Since I seem to have lost the neutral tone I was striving for at the beginning there, I'll attempt to get it back here. I believe the PC gamer superiority complex (which it seems I have) stems from that the PC gamer is usually at the forefront of whatever's new. I would be thoroughly surprised if the next generation of console didn't come with physics processing of some sort. Both camps have their good points and bad points. Console gamers are virtually guaranteed that when they buy a game, it is simply going to work for them. PC gamers have no such luxury. If a console breaks, it generally has to be sent off for weeks on end for repairs. A knowledgeable PC gamer can be back from the brink in a day (assuming it's not too serious). Will any of this stop the flame wars? Hell no, but I'd be happy with a temporary ceasefire.
