How did you go to a gaming forum and think "I know! I bet no one's made a thread about Console Versus PC yet!"
Seriously, this is so fucking unoriginal. Not to mention these always contribute to flame wars.

It wasn't that long and you don't deserve grammar. Consoles blew up in a big way in my opinion because at the time pc gaming was nowhere near what it was now. It was extremely expensive at the time consoles first started to own a pc, let alone own a good one. Where as now it's a lot more affordable. The range was limited, and you required decent technical knowhow to handle a lot of issues. But that was a different world. Pcs then were large, bulky and impossible to travel with, where as consoles were light and simple, unplug, pick it up, walk across the street, plug in two cables and put a cartridge in. Done. A pc was a lot more awkward. But these problems have been solved, and as such pc gaming is starting to boom in a beautiful way. The compatibility, freedom, ease of access and cheap prices have made it the most appealing option for many individuals. Laptops can keep up with pcs gaming wise so transportation is not an issue, the entire system has overcome its issues and as such is now superior.Straying Bullet said:

I personally used to LOVE my PC, it was seriously my favorite all time gaming machine I loved the mouse/keyboard interface as well as the option to customize almost anything in it.
In fact my only beef with the PC as a whole is the fact that most OS's can get virus's and that you have to check your system specs almost every time you look at buying a game to see if you can run it.
Overall I would pick consoles because of their simplicity and they tend to be cheaper than a PC gaming rig.

I use my console way more than my PC. I prefer controllers and all I have is a middle of the road laptop anyway.
Depends on the genre, I mostly use my console since I love JRPGs but when it comes to shooters I have to have a mouse and keyboard. However for recent games I've been playing more of them on my PC because I use my TV as a monitor and have a USB controller, so there isn't much of a difference.
Christ dude, you're basically arguing your side with a "I'm too lazy to read it.". Either read it or don't start an argument. It's not long at all.Straying Bullet said:

OT: Computer by far. I hate console controllers, though I like the relaxability. So, if I ever get too hunched up, I get my laptop wired up to the T.V
So it's consoling at no extra cost! Yaay!
Consoles, simply because i don't have to worry about whether my laptop will play it (and it won't) and the amount of upgrading needed for a PC would piss me off. "what's that Amnesia demo check my graphics card? FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Maybe if i got teh baist PC evar i would reconsider but that's technically impossible since new updates would start outdating it.
And the switch from controller to mouse would fuck me up

I used to go wherever the games were fun, so I'd get a mix of consoles and PC, but the recent lack of quality of titles has driven me to be exclusively PC. That way I can play the old gold titles like Deus Ex, and still pop in the occasional good game that gets a multiplatform release.
It's a shame too, because I used to just completely NOT draw distinctions between a console and a PC. What is it about gaming culture that has polarized our opinions so strongly, and why was that necessary?

Consoles - Many Different Kinds, and they don't slow down or freeze unnecessarily...unless it's the Xbox 360 but that was years ago.
I don't own a console. I was ranting about buying a second hand xbox and a second hand copy of RDR if rockstar didn't port it to the PC. However a quick try of the game in a shop has reminded me that I just can't use controllers for anything other than sports games and platformers. Bugger. I guess I'll just never get to buy another rockstar game. So it goes.
I cannot vote, because I am biased. 
Also I feel like "both" is a viable option for me.
My sound card is putting out a stupid amount of crackle, so I can't stand listening to it for long. As a result, I enjoy not gaming on my PC more than gaming on it. I still play, but my ears can't take an extended period. So I enjoy time with my ps3 more.

Consoles are cheaper and far less a hassle than gaming PCs, so I stick with consoles. I have some old school RTSs on my PC though.
