wow level 1, here are a few
1. MUCH better graphics, not slightly noticable in the least unless you are farsighted or something
2. Mouse and Keyboard is sooooo much better, controllers feel like swimming in honey
3. If you want a controller, thousands of 3rd party possibilities exist, hundreds of joysticks, many wheel + pedal combos, and other cool accessories like headtracking hardware, ballistic vests which hit you where you get shot (no. i don't have one, but it's cool), etc
4. Framerate on consoles is awful, many games are locked at 30 which gives me a headache, and action scenes frequently put it sub 20
5. Mods and user generated content may not be available for all games, but almost any decent game has a good mod base which adds infinate fun to games like Half-life 2 or Crysis
6. Mount and Blade
7. More customizable sound options, for instance, I have a headset that has 4 speakers in each cup and a subwoofer with rumble all in the headset, and also a 5.1 system hooked up to an x-fi xtremegamer. This whole setup maybe cost $100 (I'm a smart shopper) and if you are short on cash, any modern motherboard can output surround sound
8. I prefer sitting in a good desk chair with my PC to my left, wii and Xbox 360 to my right, and a simple switch to go between the 3 on my kickass monitor right in front
As a side note, I do play consoles occassionally, but really only when I can't get a pc version of a games or the pc version sucks, which in 90% of cases, the game sucks anyway so I don't want it. I earnestly hope that GFWL really kicks off more so that we can have cross-platform gaming and we can both have it our way, but until then, it's PC for FPS, RPG, RTS, Racing, and 360 for sports, with wii for collecting dust and whatever Zelda games come out.
