I have taught my self to play on the console and have beaten Halo 3/Gears and a couple PS3 titles. And the PC wins by far. If you have an up to date machine the graphics are superior to the consoles as well. It took a lot of practice to get good at analog controllers but it just isn't as fluid and precise as the mouse. The keyboard part of it, the console wins... PC wins by mouse alone. (and better graphix) But it is also nice to sit on your couch and play a FPS on the big screen. :)
