Console will always be my preferred choice, Gaming on a 48" HDTV with the comforts of a couch beats sitting behind an office desk, staring at a 25" monitor looking like i'm still at the office xD
And honestly no1 places a big screen on a desk, so no contest there, also couch > office chair.
Hence "the best gaming experience on offer" isn't just looking at specs, its also looking at ease and comfort.
I work at a Development studio in Japan, so the last thing i want to do home from work, is having to set up a PC game...
