I prefer console gaming mostly because I'm a huge Nintendo fan and over fifty percent of the time I am playing a game by Nintendo, which is only on consoles.

I like handheld gaming, too, but before the DS came out, the only real games I would play were Pokemon, but they would last me for hours on end, anyway. DS has quite a few non-Pokemon games that I actually like. I'm playing New Super Mario Brothers as we speak.

PC gaming is good, but I'm not a huge fan of FPSs, RTSs, or WRPGs, which are what the PC excels at, so it doesn't peak my interest as much as consoles, which offer better fighter games, platformer games, JRPGs, racing games, action adventure games, and the like experiences. However, I do play FPSs every now and then, and if I do, I usually just play on PC. It's also great because I don't own a PS3 or 360, so I can get a portion of their games without having to spend any money, aside from buying the game, of course. I didn't buy this PC with gaming in mind, but I can still play a large amount of games on PC.

So console gaming for me.

PC gaming is my favorite above all, since it's home to many great games and the online is (usually) free and high quality.

My friends don't have a gaming PC though, so I use my Xbox 360 to play with them on Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, etc.

PC gaming. Console gaming just can't do the things I want, like a full flight-sim hardware setup, force-feedback, head tracking and so on. Also, I much prefer PC exclusives to console exclusives.

In general, I prefer console gaming. But this generation I find the DS and PSP to be vastly superior to Wii, PS3, and 360. I also like to play games on the PC, but I don't consider it my favorite because I only play RPGs, strategy games, FPS, and Grand Theft Auto on it.

I make it a point to buy an arcade stick for most of my systems to that I can play SHMUPs and 2D fighters the real way.

where is arcade gaming? :cry:bulletsword

There are still Arcade around. I thought most of those got closed. I haven't been to an arcade in about 4 years.

This is the only play I know where to go for food and arcade gaming.

http://www.daveandbusters.com/

The place is a ripoff though. You pay $20 for a game card and you get like 45 points. Each game cost like 4-6pts, which is like .60 - 1.10 a game. It's confusing as can be and your money is gone quickly because you're paying so much for each game. I had $10 and I think I played like 6 games and it was gone. lol!!

PC gaming by far this gen. If you asked me back in 2004 I'd say it was close but this gen of consoles is borderline garabge.

In order of best to worst.

1. PC

2. Console

3. Handheld.

Somebody asked about arcade. Where have you been dude? Adcade is dead and has been for some time now. I haven't seen a arcade in years.

console gaming for me. handheld is 2nd place. with DS and PSP, handheld gaming is near the level of console gaming. PC gaming is cool too, but what sux about it is you have to upgrade frequently.

If they didn't, I doubt devs like SEGA, Konami, Namco, Capcom, Sammy etc. would still waste their time making Arcade games.

Depends on what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I prefer long gaming marathons on the PC with a bunch of friends playing CIV 3 or Sins of a Solar Empire. Other times I just want some instant gratification.

Nah, that's iRacing. Although I must admit, there are no Forza-style production car sims on PC (Blimey's new Ferrari Project, not to be confused with Ferrari Challenge, will change this a little). No one seems to want to make a game where you race Mustangs, 350Zs, S4s, etc..

Arcades used to offer something home consoles couldn't: Better graphics. They also had a lot of games consoles didn't.

Now, arcade gaming can't even compete with console, handheld, and PC gaming. They cost way too much money. Seriously, I spent ten to twenty dollars on Time Splitters 4 in one hours last time I went to the arcade. I also hate how some Arcade games have super hard enemies that are cheap as hell and are only there to make you spend more money.

The last time I went to an arcade was in early January 2008. I was on vacation with my cousins. All of the arcade games there are just inferior to what I have at home.
