Many console gamers don't like PC gaming currently because this gen's PC gaming is nothing more than overcomplicated console gaming, with dumbed-down controls, with much less great games and variety than consoles, and with none of consoles advantages such as system stability and simplicity. The fact that nearly all of the PC games are released on PS/360 makes them nearly obsolete for the average console gamer. Also, nowadays a $200 console can run games better than a $400 PC, so that's a big disadvantage for PC gaming.

FPS better on PCs?!?! Dude..... there are far better FPS games on consoles than the PC past and present combined, and the console versions are almost always better than the PC versions. This year won't be any different, with Resident Evil 5, Halo ODST, Bioshock 2 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare (among others) coming out exclusively or better for consoles. It's actually the PC gamers that are losing, because the old great PC game developers have long since started jumping ship to write games exclusively for the consoles.

lol, out of those 4 you mentioned, 1 isn't even FPS, and 2 of the FPS are coming to PC...

 

Well, I don't follow the FPS genre much so I can't pull half a dozen title names out of my butt and I was feeling lazy!

Why do these discussions always turn to sales when it isn't easy to quantify PC games sales or even categorise which genres are selling better than others?! Bah!

 

Oh please, Outside of Left4Dead and TF2 I have not seen ONE good FPS come out since this gen began. If anythign the consoles completely destroyed the quality of games. It made games more accessible and compeltely ruined the quality of many genres.
