Obviously they're joking but I hope nobody would seriously ever make this argument.  I am not a PC gamer, but even I know that there are three genres that are just going to be better on PC, no matter how good they can make them on a console.  MMO, RTS, and FPS are just a better experience on the PC if you prefer using a mouse and keyboard.  RTS games in particular are a genre that will never even come close on consoles to what a PC game can offer.  It's just the way of the world.


Until you said FPS I was agreeing with you. I hate playing FPS on PC Keyboard and mouse feels way to awkward and I can play better at FPS on a controller.

I agree whole heartedly.  I can't stand using a mouse and keyboard to play anything outside of solitare.  I suck at it and don't enjoying playing any real games on a PC.  That being said...as far as mods, graphics, framerates and available precision as far as controls go, PC's provide a better FPS experience.  Doesn't mean you have to prefer it, I certainly don't, but I just see it as one of the platfoms strengths.

Sports games, action-adventure games, platformers, and fighting games are all much better using a controller.  Not too many people would argue this either.  This is where console games shine.  Could you imagine playing Uncharted 2 or Bayonetta with a mouse and keyboard?
