Do you prefer console video games or computer based games?

I was inspired by this thread:

And thought a poll would be interesting. I'm sure one was done awhile ago on a similar topic but lets update it

I like computer games more for better graphics mainly. But console games are nice to just lay on a couch and play a game for a few hours instead of sitting in a chair for that long. But generally I prefer pc games more.

PC for all U.T. games online & DC/PS2/SNES for everything else 8)

I've never been a graphics whore -- it's all about solid gameplay for me.
I don't care how good a game looks, if it has poor gameplay mechanics then it sucks, period. If it's not fun, it's not worth playing, even if it is pretty.

Also, I've never been able to get used to the mouse/keyboard set-up. I think that Sony's Dual-Shock 2 controller is almost perfect (would be better if it came in "adult" sizes...)
besides, I can't stand sitting at a desk in a relatively uncomfortable chair squinting at a relatively tiny screen with a crappy PC sound system.
I'd rather kick back on the recliner in front of my big-ass HDTV in the middle of my monster surround system!
yes, I do have my "media" PC connected to the home theatre and use it for emulation on the TV, but that still leaves the whole keyboard/mouse issue for PC games.

I'm with Xylob on this one, the comfort of the TV room is king for me.

Well my brother 8) time to upgrade your pc a little :P
I love playing U.T. (all of them) in front of my 19" monitor with my 5.1 booming system in my kick ass comfortable PC chair

Although there is something to say about playing boogerman or super mario brothers on the 54" in the living room :P

The Legend of Zelda rules, IMHO.
