My vote goes for PC... unless you use keyboard & mouse on console. Yeah, sure wiimote is similar to mouse, but with larger resolutions it doesn't have as good sensitivity as mouse(Wiimote resolution is 800xsomething if I remember correctly.). Using traditional console controller for FPS feels like riding a tank and thats how it shouldn't feel... unless of course its a tank game. :D

The Wii remote is capable of aiming at any given pixel on a screen and is going to be much faster than a mouse when dealing with multiple enemies within one's field of vision. I don't know how it could be more "accurate" than pixel-by-pixel, or how the speed could be reasonably improved when one has the ability to anchor perspective, as one can in Corruption.

Ok, I was wrong about resolution. Anyway, its not able to aim at any given pixel on a screen. When you up the resolution enough, wiimote resolution just isn't accurate enough. Mouse 'resolution' is enough always because it goes from one pixel to another.

The wiimote contains an infrared camera with 1024x768 resolution, which can see the infrared leds of the wii sensor bar (or any other infrared leds for that matter).

(That doesn't mean it can do 1024x768, because what it tracks is infrared leds and those can be larger than one pixel and because of that working resolution depends on how you implement recognizing part of your program.)

there are more AAA FPS on consoles and about control the best is Frag FX for PS3.Check it out.it works with all games.For aiming you have mouse and 4 movement you have analog stick.and on consoles you usually play on 40" flat screen...

For me it plays the same on PC and PS3.I dare to say that it plays better on Frag FX on PS3 than mouse+keybord on PC.For PC you also have to buy mouse and keybord.....

And on consoles there is much more AAA FPSes then on PC.

A. This topic is purely opinion based.
B. Halo is NOT better on PC. I find it hilarious that such PC fanatics like Shio can say this when it uses the standard console sized cursors (basically making it the least accurate PC shooter)
