How is it remotely the same?
Keyboard and mouse vs gamepad.
20something inch monitor vs big screen TV.
Couch vs office chair.
Stereo computer speakers vs surround sound.
MOST people have a far better setup for their TV than their computer which is why consoles are more popular. If the experience was the same AND you got better graphics then PC would be destroying consoles. Why do I keep reading about how PC gaming is dying?
I also never said anything about dev tools, I know games are designed on PCs, but the development push is GENERALLY towards the console version. That is how the controls are optimised. If you think it's all about list wars then that's your view, but I disgree. Most people prefer to play on consoles.
30 million steam users vs 85 millions Wiis, 51 millions 360 and 46 million PS3s. It's still no contest.
You still failed in your argument.
"Killzone 3 might be played by more people with a DS 3, but we all know that the best way to play it is by a sharpshooter"
We all know that? The game isn't even out yet. Stop with the hyperbole.
Move is to PC version of console exclusives as a controller is the 360. It's very consistent.

Keyboard and mouse, both superior to gamepad for fpses.
Controllers can be used as well. And with ease, I might add.
20 something inch monitor so close actually is more effective than a big screen TV (depends upon the size though) and sitting on a couch. You can clearly see the jaggies and the low-res, its not so easy on the consoles because you sit back further.
Stereo speakers? You can use any speaker on a PC.
Most people don't have gaming consoles in the first place. But many people have PCs.
The experience is the same because graphics don't contribute much in terms of experience when we are talking things like resolution, and better textures. Sure its great to have them, but ultimately the art is the same and so is the experience, as long as you are playing in a respectable frame-rate.
Killzone 3's best is not how most people play it, its best is how developers want them to be played. And that is with sharpshooter in 3D, even though it doesn't give an edge in multiplayer, its a different experience compared to DS3. Now most people will obviously not play it that way, since its much more expensive than the just using a DS 3. Does that make it better? No, everything that most people do usually means its cost effective. Its not always a better experience.
Also 30 million steam users is just the steam users. There are other ways of playing games on the PC like retail games, games for windows live.
And it has increased by now.
Consoles aren't any different from a PC. If someone had the $$$, they would hook up their PC to their TV and play it on the couch with a controller. They just use the cheaper option.
Anyway the discussion was move vs kinect games in 2010. I don't see why we shouldn't include launch games like RUSE and resident evil 5 : Move Edition since they were launched or relaunched with move. The normal edition of resident evil 5 doesn't work with move, they actually changed it during their making of gold edition for the move. And resident evil 4 was on the wii, so its obvious resident evil 5 was as good as a title built from ground up for move.
