Consoles are just bad PCs anyway, what with their luxuries having been eliminated already. Talking about things such as being able to play their games right after putting the disk/cartridge in, not having to install them, not having to activate CD keys, not having to wait for fucking patches for them, and most of all, not having to care about smalltime DLCs, without which you can go fuck yourself because they are essential for the main game (i.e. finishing the story).
Besides that, my Xbox was a good novelty for a year, now I just play it VERY seldomly. My PC never "did" that, and I've been having this awful old piece of junk since 2005.

Xbox can be interesting but only when heavily modded and hacked - running emulators, backups that actually allow you to run the game without disc (no more worrier about circle scratches), MUCH better interface (that allows skins), removing the storage limits (using any USB drive), setting CPU fan speed, better sorting of games... It won't ever replace my PC for gaming but it's a tad better to use than a non-modded console.
So, to cut the long story short - consoles can have their use and exclusive games are fun but without TON of modding and hacking they fall flat when comared to a PC.

Ever imagined a truly huge MMO like EVE or WoW or whatever on console? It would suck like hell. Loading all over the place, FPS drops, stuttering, ...
Oh wait, consoles have that even without MMOs! So yeah, consoles are nice but PC is and will stay king for a long time! Tablets, iPhones and all that crap? Sure, it´s "gaming" too but c´mon, for real? Like Crysis 3 or Battlefield 3 on a tablet? No? Geez, guess why?! ^^
Only thing a PC lacks is some decent RPGs like Final Fantasy series or Beat em ups like eg Tekken or Street Fighter. But for this you can still buy a console if you really need those games badly (like i do :P)
Just too bad PS3 let me down on the RPG games and XBox360 got so many of them (well actually PS3 has MORE of them, just not in Europe -.-)
Anyway: PC owns!

The PC is much better.
The fact it can emulate other consoles is a nice plus. I like older games such as some classics on the NES, SNES, GBA, etc. but I don't feel like paying some guy on Ebay for a copy of the game since it doesn't even go to the developer anymore.
Although the Xbox 360 and PS3 aren't emulated yet they will in the future and that will give access to future gamers that didn't have the chance to simply buy the games out of the store and are stuck in the same situation.
Now even if you disregard emulators the fact that games on the PC can be modded and thus have a lot more of replayability and content makes it better than a console that is limited to the strict minimum.
The one advantage to consoles is the simplicity of having to just put a disc in the console and grabbing a controller. However if that's the one reason to get a console, I raise an eyebrow at you because for a little more effort you get a lot more advantages and if it's the comfort of being in your living room... You can put the tower in the middle of your living room and hook it up to your tv...

There are XBox 360 and PS3 emulators, they're a little buggy and you need a pretty bad-ass computer to do it stably. Hell, you need a slightly above average computer to emu PS2/X-Box without FPS issues! Another cool bit about emulating though, I can load up ePSX and throw the first (PS1) disc of Final Fantasy VII in my computer and it will read it like my comp is a Playstation!
But yeah, consoles are for folk too impatient to figure out how to install a game.

yuo think a i5 3570k and a 670 can emulate a 360 stably?

Frue or Tralse ?
Guys, the whole meaning of this thread was to troll each other about this subject and it ended up full of 8 years old actually arguing which one is the best.
I prefer the PC but that's an opinion so if you want to start a fight just keep it to yourself and die slowly
