Fun Topic. Which are better for Gaming? PC's or Consoles?

PC, if you have the know how you can get a really cheap rig that can ave games looking better on consoles. But I never liked GFX over Gameplay. The games is where it wins. Not only does it have the largest catalog of games ( I'm still playing Commander Keen) but also the games are more sophisticated. They aren't the linear shooting fest which has a total of 3 buttons and new mechanics which are old mechanics, just masked and marketed more (cover, LBP level creatoin, etc. etc.).

Also games are what games are meant to be. If you want to shoot someone, the games on the PC are far faster and skill intensive than the shooters on consoles. If you want strategy instead, play an RTS or a TBS. When I want to shoot mindlessly at blazing speeds, by god I wanna shoot endlessly at blazing speeds, not crawl around the map thinking about what to do next or hiding behind corners cause 1 hitscan shot can kill me. If I wanna think I'll play an RTS. It's real time so I dont have forever to think, yet it's mostly about the thinking. For example, Halo is far closer to Starcraft than it is to Unreal Tournament cause it's so slow for a shooter and requires more thinking, like Starcraft, except it doesnt do much thinking either, so it ends up in no-man's land.

Also, mods and free "DLC." A lot of the DLC that I have seen on consoles has been bullshit. I mean really? Skins for Sackboy? A Modder can do that in afternoons and put it up for free on the PC, not pay 2 bucks a pop. New maps? Again, the amount of new maps made for PC shooters and RTSes is countless. You get the point, content that should be free is actually free.

Of course all this applies if you only have the know how to get the stuff working, if not stick with consoles. I also believe the Wii is the only true console this generation, as the PS3 and the 360 are just half-assed PCs.
