The point being that consoles will have more experiences catering to that particular controller: it's why I find the standardization of hardware changing this generation to be so delightful. The DS and the Wii are largely fonts of experience that are not found on the PC at all.

You can use the Wiimote on a PC and for the DS, theres lots of touch surfaces that can be used on a PC.

My point is that experiencs on the Wii and DS are built around that hardware. Typically on the PC that isn't the case.

I may be misunderstanding you still, but I'd argue that for some games and genres (RTS being the most notable) the games ARE built around the PC hardware.

Granted, that's less common now that there are two consoles trying to be lite-PCs (and I don't mean that as an insult). And yeah, it's much less common now than it was pre-XBox.

For the record, I vote for PCs. They involve more headaches, yes, but to me mods give the PC a huge edge in terms of replay value.

I meant the Wiimote pointer and stylus controls, I apologize for the confusion.
