Consoles are way better imo.  They are way more user-friendly, and with integrated communities like live, they are more fun.  They are way better for FPS, (It actually takes skill as oppossed to point and click) Co-op orientated games, Rythm games, (try hooking up Rock Band to your computer and playing with 4 people) and pretty much every other genre is just more fun with consoles.  Plus Pc's are more expensive, and their graphics for the most part are about the same as consoles.

PC is so better for RTS's, and MMO's (WOW!!!) but thats about it 

Post 'o Fail.

 

FPS better on consoles? Really? Point and click? The PC shooters are the only ones that take actual skill. By the time Master Chief turns around I can go take a piss. And don't give me that whole "strategy" crap either. Go play an RTS if you are dying for a stretegy. As it stands consoles shooters are extremely simple and easy.

 

I concede only party games and platformers to consoles. Everythign else is better on the PC.

Hack and Slash is another one that undoubtedly goes to consoles, and arguably RPGs.

I would give FPS, RTS and MMO to PC,

Hack and Slash, Platformer, RPG, Party, Rhythm, Action Adventure (games like Uncharted, Tomb Raider), Sandbox and TPS to consoles.

Mods are a definite plus for PC, both official and unofficial. But my dislike of the other aspects of PC gaming- KB+M controls for most games, tiny screen and can't sit on a sofa (though that can be easily remedied), constant need to upgrade hardware and installs that make MGS4 look like a godsend (I think WoW took 5 hours to install) outweigh mods and RTS which are the only reasons I am drawn to PC gaming- not a fan of MMOs, and not a huge fan of FPS, but I like the really good ones, and they do exist on consoles.

That's going to depend on your computer and other factors. Metal Gear Solid 4's installs are insane no matter what, though the large one in games like Devil May Cry 4 are worse compared to that. Installing a game on the computer should hardly be as time consuming as your 5 hour claim. Sure, having multiple disks packed with data can be a hassle, but 5 hours is an extreme that I've never faced (though bullshit like having to install numerous The Sims game expansions is certainly up there).
