You can't get an ultra wide range of games on a console like you can on a com.and consoles have their limits.(Computers you can manipulate the data a bit as well.heeheehee.)

I like both, a computer game usually have better graphics and online ability is great. But a console game can be brought around and played outside and a laptop ccan also play computer games but it is pretty big compared to a console..
When the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping...

I would say console games are better because there easier to play with a controller and take less time to set up and stuff like i could go and rent a game and pop it in my PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox, or Xbox 360 and they will all just play right away no need to install anything and no wait time to play. So CONSOLE FTW!

to refute all the people that are saying computer gaming is too expensive. I'm a computer gamer on a laptop from 2000. sure i've missed out on some of the big games (that weren't that fun to begin with) but most of the good games don't have ludicrous system requirements. there are also a lot of games that would simply not work on a console, not because of hardware but because the controls required more then just 4 buttons.

computers, definetly. AS said before, mods, I don't have to try to find some wierd hotspot for the internet on hadheld games, and I already have the internet hooked up to the computer, vs. Consel, where i have to find a place for TV and internet ports.

I would say neither is better, because while you can mod PC games, the 360 and such can always play games you buy for them, you don't have to buy video cards and get drivers and such to play them.

I'd have to go with both, I'm into the online RPGs like World of Warcraft and Everquest, but those get boring after a while so I have to switch to console games. I don't think you can just pick one, but maybe that's just me

I've got to say that I like computer games a whole lot more, it's more freedom in my opinion with mods and edits and exclusive content.

There both got their pros and cons.PC is good for FPS, and RTS. Infact RTS can only be played on RTS unless its Endwar!Consoles are great for racing, fighting and games like assassins creed. I dont play much racing or fighting so i still prefer PC

I would prefer playing Gun games and other shooters on comps, much easier. Though with console games, u dont need to spend excessive amounts of money to upgrade ur system to support the game. Unlike the PC, you have to continually upgrade as the gaming world progresses. Consoles for me

Both provide great platforms for playing, but i prefer playing most of my games on the console because my computer wasn't really made for playing graphic demanding or large games. Then again, i still install the heavy **** just to attempt :]

I like both. They're often differing in certain aspects, and it makes it like playing a new game in a familiar line. My computer is often too lame to handle most modern GOOD games, although my next one should hopefully be awesome enough to handle them. So I usually opt for the console versions of things if I can.

In the 90s PC games had better graphics, but console games seemed to be more fun. Although I still remember games like One Must fall or Monster Bash on the PC. By 2001 though PC games where losing ground because of the Ps2 and Gamecube. Today I like the Wii cause of the VCON and all those retro gems =D
