Hell I will take that challenge. I would say that your opinion is wrong. I frequently play both Console shooters and PC ones and can play both farely well frequently getting 15 kill streaks in MAG. However there is just no denying that a mouse can beat both an anolgue stick and for the time being a wii remote. The wii remote still hows it's flaws with most games with aiming and still has a slight stutter, however it does have the potential to be better.

What standard controllers provide a bonus for is the analogue stick for movement purposes. If i could take the wii nunchuk and combine it with a mouse that would the best control method I could think of.

Lets take another genre. Hypotheticlly if you could clone the worlds greatest street fighter player and have them play against eachother one using a DualShock, the other using a 360 controller. The one using the ps3 would win. The 360 D-Pad just sucks. Going back to controllers again, well use me as an example as i can use both really damn good. If you could clone me and had one of me using a mouse and the other using a Dualshock.  9/10 the one of me using the mouse will get that kill. Movement and precision with a mouse is way more accurate then a analogue stick to aim with.

Does this mean you will play better with a mouse? Right now. Maybe, maybe not, but most likely so since you're probably so use to using a controller. It's like using Wacom tablet for art. Hard at first, but once you get it down you don't want to go back.

They do have  left handed mouses and keyboards. I'm using an ambidextrious mouse :P

Also though i do agree with the keyboard. I'm pretty much a pro mouse guy.   I would like the nunchuck and mouse combine...seriously epic glory there.

I've yet to find a good left handed mouse, but that's beside the point, it's the keyboard that bothers me, not the mouse.

Now, if you have a link to a good wired left handed mouse with a high DPI I would be *ecstatic* (still wouldn't game with it though).

I have some better ones:

5. Portability. You can take your gaming on the road or on the couch, your choice (Even on the toilet!). Much better than a handheld and a console, because a handheld is too lightweight too carry it around in contrast to a small 4kg gaming laptop and playing on a couch with a 15-17" screen is more enjoying than playing on the tv.

4. Flexibility. If you don't like something you can change it, try that with a console game. Mods can make for a personalised experience. You know what you want, and chances are someone else does too so mod away! And most mods which substantially change things in those games release only 1-3 years after the game, so you have nothing to do other than getting the game (see point 3 + 1) and wait a bit.

3. Dozens of free games to play. Try games like Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2 for free.

2. Technological Prowess. You don't like jaggies in your favourite game? Kill them! You want a faster frame-rate, buy a new graphics card for the price of one console every 12 months. And if you have a laptop, you don't even have to bother changing your graphic card, just buy a new laptop. With a console you'll invest once per gen and can put your money in good software.

1. Direct Download + cheaper games. You're a hardcore gamer and you buy a lot of games? Great you can download a lot of games for free and you can play them without disc checks. So watch out for Steam sales, torrent sites and fill up that hard-drive!
