When it comes to gaming which platform is better play on--a good pc/laptop with a good graphics card or one of the game consoles? Are there pros and cons to having one over the other in terms of actual game play and graphics? This is strictly a comparison of computer to a console not a comparison of console to a console.

For me I prefer playing in a game console simply because I like interactive games and I prefer sitting on my couch rather just typing and using keyboard and mouse. I also love the huge TV where I can connect my game console. I do know that I can connect my PC to my TV but that would change the set up completely. I prefer using the controller than the keyboard. I don't really enjoy first person shooter games so I don't see the advantage of using a keyboard and a mouse.

It depends what kind of game it is. I find there are certain games like "arcade type of games" easier to play using a PC/laptop but others like similar to Mario, are easier to play using a console. Probably because of all the combination needed to create an attack or super move.

Well for me without any doubt it'll be console
Playing game with console feels completely different

I prefer to play puzzle or sports games on the console. Adventure, FPS, etc, I prefer to play on the computer. Not only I prefer the control of the keyboard/mouse, but I find it more immersive.

It really depends, with console, you can play with family, like on the Wii, on the computer you can play with online friends or alone. Sometimes I think it is good to get off the computer for a bit, and do something else. But if you are on a console you are still on a form of electronics, so still on something.

I enjoy playing on the Wii as it means I can join in with other people. I discovered the wii when I went to a children's birthday party and the kids were playing on it .. I was just like a big kid and knew I had to get one myself!

If I am alone I prefer to play games on my desktop although I don't enjoy it as much and don't do it that often. There was one game I was quite addicted to called Flipout, it was a memory game and I was quite good at it but they took it off and I can't find it on any other sites.

I enjoy playing games on my console because its attached to the tv and the screen is bigger. I also like the console because I need a controller for the kind of games I play and I know you can buy a controller for the pc but the screen is still too small and the sound is not as good as the tv without headphones

Depends on the game.

I find racing games are better on the console as the standard controls seem more intuitive if you have twin sticks.

FPSes seem to work so much better on a PC. The mouse is great for controlling where the gun is pointing a lot more accurately than a tiny joystick.

I prefer to play on the PC, I don't know why I am very clumsy with consoles that's is why I have a PS2 and only used it a couple of times. I guess there is something with joysticks I don't like, I am much better playing with keyboards. I also love MMORPGs and this type of games require a keyboard to play maybe that's why I am better with keyboards.

I'am a gamer and i love modern games ... i prefer playing on Laptops or a desktop pc more than the gaming consoles ! pc is more easy when it comes to controlling , even the graphics could be better than the ps4 or the Xbox one graphics if the pc's specification are high and great quality

For me play station 3 is the best gaming console. I don't like playing games on computer. I enjoy when i sit down, take joystick and play on big TV screen my favorite game - Assassin's Creed.

My favorite games are on PC and played with controller and a mouse so I prefer that but otherwise there's no difference. You can plug in controller and connect laptop on your plasma TV if you want a bigger screen and play on your couch or whatever.

Exactly what i was thinking. Depends on the game.
I personally like to use pc when i can. For example when i was playing withcer 3 i was playing it on pc but i was using controler. I wasnt using mouse and keybord because doging was easier with controler.

I prefer to play on computer because of the versatility of computer. I can use both keyboard/mouse and gamepad accordingly. So switching around is so simple and that makes my gaming experience on pc is more fun.
