They are both great, this is not intended to be an immature flame war. I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are, and hell I have about 45 mins to kill.:)

Anyway, I've been a console gamer all my life, back to the days of Atari, and moving on through NES and stuff. I played with Flight Simulator and stuff on our old computer running Windows 3.1 back in those days, and then my family got a Macintosh (grrrr) and finally another PC a couple years ago.

In those past two years, I've realized, at least IMO, that PC games are more immediately gratifying, you play for 10 mins and you've got an un-erasable smile on your face. Unfortunately, one of the most important things in gaming to me, story and depth, is lacking in most PC games, whereas in console games they can have novel-quality story lines, good enough that you keep playing just to see what happens next.

Anyway, I could go on for awhile, but I'll just stop there and say that my vote is for console.

I would say, IMO, console gaming is a better overall experience. Some types of game are way better on the PC though; and vice-versa.

I totally agree with you FrogDog. Console games seem to be more enjoyable, but there are few games that I love that just wouldn't work on a console.

For example: The Sims, Sim City, RollerCoaster Tycoon.
Of course these are all sim type games.
