PC for MMO and most RPG games, both single and multiplayer.
My PS3 for most everything else.
But I mainly just consider myself a gamer, I personally enjoy having both console and a good PC. And am fortunate enuff to be able to afford to keep my PC updated regularly with new hardware and have a nice setup for my PS3.
I used to be a console only guy.... but that was because of the lack of a nice PC, now that i finally have one, i have to take turns! So you can say im kind of a hybrid.
This applies to me as well. I use to be a FPS only guy for the longest time. Than I built my first PC and it's been PC games only since then. Occasionally I will go play some CoD with some friends or Killzone or something like that but mostly just PC games. I just tend to like the mouse and keyboard better than a controller... idk why.
Veritas Vos Liberabit- The truth will set you free.
So which platform do you use most for gaming? Are you hardcore PC? Hardcore console? Or are you a little bit of both? Personally I'm sorta a little bit of both. When it comes to MMOs and most online games, I go for the PC. Although when it comes to most offline games and some online mulitplayer modes, I go for my XBOX 360. I try to balance it as much as I can.
Well if it were not for mmo's I would not play on a computer, I prefer a simple controller than that of a KB/M because I get the more relaxed feeling when playing a game. Thats what I like after a long day at work. However it seems console are evolving into a computer. When the day comes where we have to upgrade console parts will be the day I quit playing on consoles.
Another thing about consoles that I like. Everybody is playing on the same playing feild technology wise. No one has a 3000$ Ps3 that will out preform a 300$ Ps3. Same with 360.
A third thing I like about consoles, is its infinatly harder to hack and cheet in online games. Nothing pisses me off more than cheeters. I think every cheeter should be castorated with a rusty spoon.
I got a delima coming up with FFXIV Ps3 or PC. I played FFXI on PS2 had no problems. But I didnt have a top of the line computer then. I never once felt I was at a dissadvantage, I claimed HNM's and such. Cheeters, its cross platform so there will be botters and hackers. I guess Ill just get it for both, When playing casually ill play on PS3 and in raid situation ill play on PC In hopes I can get better preformance.

I'm definitely a PC gamer; I don't even own any other consoles at all, though I was tempted to get a Nintendo DS once, but decided that I would rather use that money to buy a MP3 instead. I'm not sure why, but I've always prefered using a single device for my gaming needs, because I don't want to spend more money than I should and I've chosen the PC, because since I already need a laptop for school, I might as well use that for my games as well, and save money to buy other things.
Plus, I play mainly MMORPGs, and I need my keyboard to chat.
I'm having great fun with PC games, so why do I need a console? For the amount of money it would cost (even without games) I could buy dozensof PC games keeping me entertained for years. ^^
Im more of a PC gamer myself. I have only owned 1 console (PS2) and enjoyed it very much but as i got older i gradually stopped playing it. However there are games on the console that I would still play to this day if i still had my ps2, such as; Grand theft auto series, MGS and SSX snowboarding series. Another reason i use the PC now is so i can watch TV at the same time :P.
Definitely both.. I could never choose one or the other. Mostly MMOs for the PC though, but I play my wii for party games and nintendo only games (zelda, metroid, mario kart), my xbox for FPS's and more adult 360 ish titles and my ps3...... for the blu ray player.. .. and perhaps the off chance theres a new kingdom hearts game.... .. and thats about all...
I'm an old guy of 46 and PC games are just easier for me to command because I played Doom, Quake, Descent, Rise of the Triad back before MMORPG's were around. To me the keyboard and mouse gaming combo feels as easy as driving a car after having used it for more than a dozen years.
Also, I only play MMORPG's because I like them best and I only have limited time for one game.
I have a PS3 but bought it for the Blu-Ray, because at the time they were considered the best Blu-Ray players on the market.
To enjoy my PS3 as a gaming system, I'd have to take up another game and SUCK at it for months until my old-assed twitch skills learn the PS3 console gaming remote so I can advance to level 2 in easy mode. Lol.
For me nothing can beat the good old single player RPGs on consoles. No item malls that will sell overpowered and overpriced items. No botters and gold sellers to ruin the game. And most of all, you can do whatever you want without thinking about others.
What's a console? And there are other games besides MMORPG's? Not in my world for the past 8 years.
I've given a few single player games a go, (KOTOR, HL2, Fallout 3 to name a few) and every time I try, there's just something missing and I don't last more than a week.
Just trying to live long enough to play a new, released MMORPG, playing New Worlds atm

i used to care but with soe new ps3 having a 45 nm processor
and the fact ff 14 will be avail there it will matter less and less the more mmo in console
i dont play most console game but i do like mmoes so if say soe lunched a mmo exclusive to ps3 and it was good i would jump in
the thing is console have more chance then computer to make interactive mmo a reality
the only company bothering with the idea right now of interactivity in mmo is blizard with their unknown title all the other are too busy with their new project to bother with something they feel gamer arent ready yet
the thing is if player werent ready ,blizzard wouldnt be working so hard to be ready for that interactivity
All depends on the games, I prefer Shooters,RPG's and MMO's on my PC, Everything else I tend to play on console. But like others have said I am a gamer if theres a game out there I want to play I play it.
DOAC is still the MMO I judge other games by, My first and still my favorite.
This debate will never end. Consoles stopped being consoles when the games stopped coming in cartridges. Once CDs came along they were just dumb downed PCs. There is still a difference though. console games are made to be played from 5+ feet away from the screen. PC games are meant to be played from an arm reach distance from the monitor. Depends on the persons idea of fun i guess. But know this, all console games are made on a pc :P

What he said.
BTW it seems to me that the two technologies are merging closer every time you look around. With the prices of PC's falling steadily, as soon as PC's are able to load games without having to install them there will be no need for consoles. Thats the only advantage I can see that a console would have over a PC. Who would want a proprietary console when you could get a entire (upgradable) PC for the same price. At one time didn't the PS3 cost more than some PC's?
As for me, I still want consoles. The controllers are much easier to use than the mouse and keyboard. If I can play online games on consoles then I definitely will choose consoles. The only downside is the community.

Main characters:

Princess Pudding (Guild Wars)
Never owned a console and don't plan to.

Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)

During my early years of gaming I always played games on consoles but now I find online games more interesting and fun because of the community.
PC MMO's will always be my style. I like a good lengthy hobby and I love the communities.

Console Gaming. It's strongly attached to my childhood.
I am simply myself, no more and no less. And I only want to be free.
PC games are to Console games what subscription MMO's are to F2P MMO's. Need I say more?

PC all the way. Nothing beats mouse keyboard combo for accuracy. imho
PC FTW! All the great games can be found on PC. No contest!
I enjoy console gaming a lot more because of the better controllers and the large LCD TV, but buying the games are quite expensive
