I exclusively play on PC however I don't have any kind of vendetta against consoles. Ever since my PS2, I just have never seen them offer anything to draw me back into the fold. I can usually do it all on my PC.

I prefer console. You can't get the games I like on PC, or if you can, they tend not to be to the same quality. I typically like Japanese arcade games.
I play PC from time to time, but almost exclusively games from the 90s - early 2000s. The indie PC scene has actually alienated me. So many games on steam, but none that look very unique and appealing to me. Just a preference though.

I own a PC and no consoles, so it has to be the first category for me. I often thought about getting myself something like a PS3, but never found enough sufficiently convincing arguments to sink my money into it.
I do also own a tablet and I have dabbled in some games, but those turned out to be pretty disappointing. Some had really amazing graphics (for a portable device), but the controls on a touchscreen are just too clumsy. It's not my cup of tea.

You might want to check out emulating, tablets tend to have beefier innards than your average phone these days, so they can run higher quality games. PS1, GBA, even DS era games (if you can find a good program for it, anyway). Those older consoles had absolutely shitloads of great games, and they're *so old* that they don't take much processing power to run. Perfect for phones, tablets and the like.Whispering Cynic said:
I mainly play on a console (PS3), but mobile for trains and PC for indie games. Honestly I do more PC gaming as of recently (Binding of Isaac and FTL), but I consider myself a console gamer.
Neither. I don't "identify" myself as a gamer either. I play games in the same sense that I read books, listen to music and watch films and occasionally television, I do not define myself by doing those so it makes no sense for me to do it for gaming.
I have a PC because PC's are useful, I play the games on the PC that it can handle and I used to use the Xbox 360 for everything else before I traded it in. I have a PS3 that I would have sold or traded except it's cheaper to keep it or else I'd need to buy a Blu-Ray player anyway. So if a game comes out that I want and it's on the PS3 I may pick it up (such as GTA V).
I don't have a "preferred" platform, my choices are pragmatic. A PC has other uses, and so does my PS3. In the future I imagine I will get rid of the PS3 and stick a Blu-Ray player in my PC but for the time being it'd cost me more to do so.

PC only, unless you count tablets and smartphones. I have nothing against consoles, i just don't need one. I already have at least 7 games installed that i havent finished and i don't know when i will get around to doing it, if i had another console then it would just be collecting dust. Probably the biggest issue is that i'm too used to m & k by now, so playing games that involve shooting would be a pain in the ass and i don't like when the game picks targets for me.
Good Lord there are certainly few console only folks on here it seems, now I'm a bit scared! ;_;
It's always been consoles and handhelds for me. I hear many arguments for switching to PC and none of them have ever come close to convincing me to do so. I've played games for about 17 years, consoles and handhelds have served me well enough thank you very much! crosses arms

At least, as I understand the matter.
I really got no clue. At the moment I'm PC and then consoles, but for the past four years I've been all about consoles. Before that it was all PC and before that it was all console!
Soooo not sure if I get to vote and to what. Guess I'll go with both.

I have been gaming PC my entire life, and back in the day I had a Nintendo Game Boy (still have it), also I have a PS2 with God of War but not the right connectors to put into my monitor 
I am actually really shocked by how many PC gamers there are here, I figured it would be mostly console gamers here. I mainly play on PC. I used to be mainly a console gamer but then the console generation started to drag on. Now I usually only play on console if it's an exclusive. PC games are cheaper and quite frankly, I can't aim with an analog stick. If I'm playing a shooting game on a console, be it third or first person, if it doesn't have auto targeting it will be an exercise in frustration
Well it's funny. I try not to discriminate against what platform I go for, but I seem to have indadvertently avoided Nintendo consoles for the most part (they've only had a couple exclusives I've been interested in).
I ended up owning a an Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube all at once. Thought it confuses me to death how it happened.
After that, I bought an original 360, hardly played it, but upgraded to an Elite in case I wanted to play it.
My father bought a PS3 for use as a Blu-Ray player, so I used it to try a few games.
But I slowly started leaning towards PC gaming. I bought one premade in 2006, then built my own in 2010, then upgraded it this year.
I ended up selling my 360 and 360 games, and buying a slim PS3 for myself because I realized I really liked the console and the games it had.
I have no interest in the PS4, Xbone, or Wii-U. But I do have interest in a 3DS, because the list of exclusives I want for it is growing.
I don't have interest in a Vita, to me it seems kind of cancerous.
tl;dr I identify as PC and Console. But I hope for a world where we can play all games (literally every game ever made) on PC, because games should not die with consoles.

Just include them under consoles, they are technically portable "consoles" after all....Though it is difficult to classify games on tablet/android/iOS , as they are PCs but function differently.Kaendris said:
Console with a side of PC. No ideology behind that, my PC just happens to be shyte. If I had a proper desktop model I'd probably game more on it. But not so much as I do on console. I play co-op with my gf and all and I'd rather do so from the comfort of my bed than crammedu up in front of my computer.
I just like games, I can't bring myself to identify myself based on a machine I own. However, Having started the PC builder's user group and being the author of the "How to Build Your Own PC" thread, I might as well say I'm a PC gamer if I'm to do that sort of thing. If there's a game available on console or PC, I will always get it on PC. I haven't played GTA V yet because it's not on PC.
However however, I've been a collector since I was like 3 or 4. I still have my original Atari 2600, dedicated Pong machine, NES, and PS1/Saturn blah blah all the way up to the PS360Wii trifecta. I find a certain charm to machines dedicated exclusively to video gaming, and I love seeing them all on my shelves. Not to mention the exclusives that will never come to PC. So yeah, that's my situation.
