PC because games are free and because upgrading my video card costs less then buying a new console.
Also, my PC has much better graphics than a console.
Even on a GTS 250, L4D runs on full settings at twice the resolution at twice the framerate as a 360.
This scales for all games.

For FPS's and Horror games I prefer PC. But for genres like Fighters, shoot-em-up and hacn'n'slash I prefer a Colsole

PC. I don't have many games for it, and in fact have a larger amount of games for consoles, but I've found I actually spend more time on my PC playing games than on my consoles.

Consoles. Don't need to keep my console up to date and buy new graphics cards and such. Also as of now, MW2 > Fapping

PC, because first person shooters's home is on the PC. When it's on the console, it just...it feels cold, alone. And mouse and keyboards rox.

Mmm... I say console. For me, it's all about comfort. And you don't get comfy sitting in a chair that hurts your butt all day.

Consoles are a cheap way for companies and developers to become lazy. Sure its easier to program for a console and even easier when each console type has a set list of hardware parts inside. Where as Windows/Mac/Linux computers have millions of different pieces of hardware available.
Consoles are fine by me. One system with specific games available to them. Its cheap enough that homes with low income can buy them and share them with their family and friends. PCs generally cost more and do more than most consoles. However, I believe the next generation Consoles will become more and more like a full fledge PC (personal computer which includes the various types out there).
PCs will always have the cutting edge of tech available to them so companies should always keep in mind there is still a market there. Sadly many are slowly bowing out of the PC market as pirating (#1 excuse) is hurting sales. If there are programmers then security can never be 100%. I think Steam's method of piracy control is pretty good. Has it been hacked? Of course!!! Which is why they come out with patches and other various ways to ensure quality service for their customers.
I still prefer my games on the PC over console. I wish developers would take chances like they used to in the old days. This banking on Triple AAA titles to get them through the quarters is killing me. I remember back when I didn't know what game to buy because there were so many good ones to chose from. Now I see a list of maybe 25 games a month or less being released with a Possible Triple AAA title being one of the releases.
We need more innovative ideas being tested on the market. More story to pull their audiences in. Hell maybe game play that doesn't SUCK!!! :P Ether or the PC Game Community is suffering from once where it was before. The Console community is still growing, but seriously look at the games being released.
Take my post how you like it :P Hell shove it up your @#$ if you want :) I just hope for Robots that Dream of Electric Sheep.

Having read the topic I must say that somehow ppl who prefer consoles tend to know more about PCs than ppl who prefer PCs about consoles.There is no problem in playing FPS's or RTS's on a console, because you can easyly plug in a keyboard and a mouse.
Consoles are still evolving, not only in power and parameters, but in numerous patterns (motion controls, vibration, dancing mats, guitar/DJ hero stuff, etc. - all of that came from consoles) . Whereas PCs, well, only get stronger parameters.
Someone mentioned touchpads on PCs; ever heard of Nintendo Dual Screen? It's a console alright; a handheld one, which can be played anywhere. Now you might say "but I can play PC games anywhere on my laptop or notebook!", you can but is it as comfortable as a handheld? I don't thik so. And it's very limited; it's uncomfortable to play in the bus, or walking ;]
When it comes to games, it's hard to argue, one who prefers RTS or FPS (or MMORPGs) will like PC more, if you prefer any other genre you like consoles.
What I've found interesting is the fact how did PCs and consoles evolve. PCs at the beginning were ment for work, and had smaller number of games (and quite average ones). Consoles were only for playing games. Now PCs get better games than they used to, and consoles get more multimedia stuff (I doubt they'll made to be able to work on them though, it isn't necessary as we have PCs for that ;]).
For some of you who might not knew, you could surf the net on a Dreamcast.
The topic about graphics makes me laugh generally. Like someone saw a game which uses a 100% of PS3 power. Such game doesn't exist. And if somehow someone menaged to make such a game, a PC would probably need a GF 12k to make it run ;] Heck, PS2 power wasn't entirely used (or maybe in Black - FPS)
Oh, and you can't emulate PS3, PSP, Xboxs' (both), and Wii on your PC. GCB emu isn't very good, as well as Dreamcast's (not every game works). You can emulate the rest though; yay for you ;]
Generally:
Work and net - PC
Gaming - Console
I've chosen a console ;]
fanboy alert, ps3 gpu is vastly outdated, and its procesor is also 3 years old. so it cant compete with the newest pc hardware, and the gpu on the ps3 is only 256mb you cant go more then that so it cant compete vs my like 1GB+ ram. ps2 games can be emulated. and my gtx 275 owns a ps3 anyday.
points at crysis
I'm not a fanboy. Well, maybe a little :P Generally I like both, but I've grew up with consoles, so that's my choice.
I don't think that the abitity to change parts in a PC every 2-4 years is a good thing, especially when you own both a PC and a console. It's strange, however, that while PS3 can't technically compete with the newest PC hardware, It competes with it's games (if we talk about cometing anyway). You can't say that current PS3 games look worse that current PC games, because they don't.
Plus, a PC is ment for many other things except playing games, so it needs a better engine to handle all the multi tasking that's going on. Not all of that power is needed for gaming.
After another 3 years you'll have to buy some new parts for your PC, to be able to run the newest games, and a PS3 user (let's stick with PS3) won't have to do that. Then the PC graphics will be better, but it doesn't mean that PS3's will be bad or anything. After 6 years PS3 programers will be able to draw more things from a PS3 anyway, so I think that the difference will be slight.
And I didn't say that you can't emulate a PS2. I know it can be done. I've said that you can't emulate a PS3, PSP both Xboxes, Wii, and partially NCG and Dreamcast. You can emulate the rest.

PC! I don't really like having too much clutter in my room, plus it's much more convenient when you only have one unit for games and office work and not have to turn on any other appliances, it may be a pain when specs get in the way to run a game, but on the other hand you start to learn new things when tweaking with your PC and get a feel of fulfillment when you get a game to run and not just lazy around just enjoying a game.
