Consoles are popular, no doubt... but the competitive scene on PC is definitely much larger.  Hell, on most console games, you can't have a competitive scene (outside of LANs at controlled events) because there are no dedicated servers or competition mods. 

 

Now, it still takes skill to play games on a console, nobody's arguing that, but the games are slowed down, and have auto-aim, to make up for the controls.  There really should be no discussion here, KBM > Dual Analog

I wouldn't get into a argument with Mendicate about the competitive console scene, he knows his shit.  And as explained in his post, there is quite the professional scene for console games.  As for competition mods, MLG created Halo 2/3 game types/settings/map variants.  Bungie even created a playlist that uses only MLG game types and map variants.

That's Halo.

The point being made was that in the vast majority of PC games, because of dedi servers and mods, the community alone can give them game a worldwide, highly competitive scene.  This can then lead to companys getting in on the scene or sponsorship at tournaments.
