PC gaming for its sheer power. It's also something i've grown up with.

Consoles are good especially with load times and simplicity to use, but the control is limited to the buttons on your controller.

I'd have to say PC.

I prefer consoles only because it's truly "plug and play".  That's the thing I hate about PC gaming....all the configuration hassle required.  Whenever I buy a PC game, I'm always confronted by the fear that it won't work or that my system is not up to snuff, etc etc.  With consoles, I don't have to worry about that at all.  Plus the fact that a lot of PC games are released before they are truly finished(ahem.....Silent Hunter 4 *cough cough*)

With that said though, I think the PC brings a better experience overall for me once I'm up and running.  Show me a game on a console that beats Company of Heroes fully maxed out on a good rig.  Crysis also is looking to be incredible, and I can't get that on a console yet.

I just find the PC to have that extra layer of depth that you can't get with the consoles. 

So yea, PC gaming.

I prefer consoles for a lot of reasons. PC games have a lot more hassle involved--you have to sit and wait for it to install, and if your computer isn't up-to-date enough, you can end up having to update, buy a new video card, who knows what else. I always have to read the system specs when I buy a PC game just to make sure I can run it, and even then half the time I don't know if it's actually going to run, because computers have a tendency to be so tempermental. Whereas with a console game, you can go ahead and buy it and unless you get a screwed up copy, you can rest assured it's going to work. All you have to do is put it in and play. Plus, when you buy yourself a brand new console, you know you're set for the next few years, at the very least. You buy a new computer and six months later it's obsolete. (Well...maybe not that bad, but close enough.)

I doubt most PC's that people have right now are as powerful as the Xbox 360, unless you have a 8800 or something, but even then most people dont have a triple core CPU as powerful as a 360.

you'd be suprised. I bet you 75% of the PCs GAMERS have are more powerful than 360s. But im talking about pc gamers who actually buy games ect. not people who play runescape... :/

I play games, high level games, Company of Heroes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R etc, and I have a high powered gaming rig (3800X2, 2GB of RAM and a 7950GT) qhich plays the games on high settings, but graphically the 360 can beat my PC.

Thats why I like 360, cheap and has excellent hardware, thats why I play both.

Wait for lost planet and Gears to come to pc. but i wouldn't doubt its more powerful when looking at the games, because PC games are less optimized for select hardware. Now say if someone made a PC game for your exact hardware it would be a amazing. Though do you think oblivion runs better on your PC or 360? I bet you'd say your pc.

It depends on the genre for me

Sports, turn based RPG, platformer, racing, fighting-Console

MMO, strategy(RT or TB), PC

if the limited amount of buttons can play the game the way it's supposed to be played, i'll go with console. If not (LOTRBFME2) i'll go with PC

Oblivion for the 360 was poorly optimzed, and it only used a small percentage on one of the CPU's what do you expect, when consoles are new the games tend to work not that great because the devs are not used to the hardware e.g. Quake 4 for 360, Gears for example would run better on 360 then some one with my specs, far better.

thats all bull honkey, and pretty much exactly what 360 fan boys say to defend their 360 :P but lets try not to turn this into SW
