Poll: What do you use: Console or PC?

[TheSteeleStrap]

I primarily use my 360 for 3 reasons:

I grew up on consoles, so it's kinda tradition
Most of my friends have 360s so it's better for multiplayer purposes
The only PC I have right now is a laptop that can't run too much.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I prefer console because of xbox live and the xbox controller. I can't be bothered shelling out $15 for the controller adapter and less convenient online play.

 

[Shadowstar38]

I use everything.

The mutiplatform stuff gets played on my Xbox because I like how the controller feels. Multiplayer games go to the PS3 because PSN is free. Wii because, fuck it. And I ususally buy the small stuff that only comes on steam for my laptop.

 

[Razentsu]

I own a 360, Wii and PC, and I primarily game on my PC.

I'm gonna go with "true." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR4H76SCCzY]
All of the above. Except Mac. Yes, that includes potato. A farm of them powers my consoles in battery form. You don't wanna know what the lemons are for.

 

[Doom972]

PC as my primary platform, and a Potato? as my secondary. I keep hearing Potato? gaming is dead.

 

[mrhateful]

I'm a true gamer and thus I need not say more, my gaming device should be self explanatory.

 

[Sanat]

Primarily, PS3. I've also got some handhelds... and a Mac. :I

After I get myself a PC capable of handling games, I'll still use consoles, but probably only for exclusives or when the PC version sucks.

If you didn't buy a mac in the first place you could've afforded that PC.
Obnoxious cynical food for thought~

This must be a troll, but I'll bite anyway
How is Xbox live superior to any form of PC-based online play? And the Xbox controller itself goes for ~$40 dollars, a PC based version is a fraction of the price. Hell, a month and a half of sacrificed Xbox live covers it.

 

[SirDeadly]

I have all three. I prefer the xbox for shooters and games like Assassins Creed. I prefer a computer for games like Skyrim. The PS3 is just for exclusives and FIFA (my friends who play only have PS3's).

 

[BathorysGraveland]

PC here. I haven't seriously played a console now for several years at least. Played a little bit of Spyro earlier this year, but that was a one-off sort of nostalgic thing.

 

[MajorTomServo]

I can't really enjoy PC games. I'm always flipping all the switches and dials trying to get the perfect balance between fast and fancy graphics.

I don't have a dedicated gaming rig, and really don't feel like dropping $1200 on one or paying $800 to build one and most likely fuck it up at some point on the way.

I'll stick with my PS3. Pop the game in, sit back, and enjoy the game.

 

[Hagi]

PC, I like having a mouse.

Nothing against other platforms though. Except for the exclusivity deals, those are just bullshit.

 

[MetalMagpie]

I do have an Xbox360, but I only got it about a year ago and I still use my PC far more.

I'm not fantastic at shooters in general, but using a controller I might as well just stand there and get hit.

 

[MiriaJiyuu]

I mostly use my PC, but I have a PS3 and a Wii. The PS3 is mostly for games that I can't get on my PC, and the Wii is mostly for split-screen, Gamecube games, and occasionally Nintendo exclusives.

I was going to type out an actual answer but you said it for me... thanks!

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

I use both consoles and PC.
PC for strategy and indie games. PS3 for more or less everything else as my PC doesn't have the power to run most AAA games.
I am considering gettting a gaming PC sometime soon, but I'd like to see what the next generation of consoles will offer before throwing any money down.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Can't vote, as it's an average 50%/50% for both PC and PS3 for me. Most multiplayer fare and exclusives I enjoy on PS3, most titles where 720p or lower insults my eyes I enjoy on PC.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I primarily use the PC. But I also have a PS3 for some of the exclusives I'm interested in.

I am beginning to believe I really am the only one to prefer Xbox Live for online. I prefer it because: The friends list on Xbox Live. The easy switch between game chat and chatting with friends in another game. Matchmaking never works on PC for me on half the games.
The chat one is the main reason for me. I can be playing Halo (another reason now I think about it: Halo is awesome) and talking in game chat. Then my friend comes online and I want to talk to him. On PC it would be incredibly inconvenient to call them on Skype or something but on Xbox I can just invite them to a party chat no matter what game they are playing.
As a lesser reason, I really like achievements and comparing them with friends. Steam does achievements but on Xbox every game has achievements whereas on Steam it only has a few of the PC games I would be playing.
Also not every PC game works with an Xbox controller. Using a mouse and keyboard for any sort of first person game annoys the hell out of me.
