I picked PC but iPhone gaming is almost surpassing it. My 360 is going unused because I'm never home without the girlfriend so I don't get to play that, and when I am I play poker.

Consoles.

I have gone in serious shifts over my gaming career though. Until my early teens I only ever played console games, solely because my family couldn't afford a computer so I never had the opportunity. Then once I got a computer, I got into PC games for a while, with the peak of my PC gaming being during EQ.

Now I log probably a minimum of 20-30 hours a week on my console, and I can't see that changing much anytime soon. I've come to like the way the controls and options are laid out for the console games in every case except for RTS games, and I've got little to no interest in playing any MMO's anymore outside of playing EQ2 once in a while.

I can pause my xbox and it's located where all the action is in my house.

I play WoW on my PC and a few other games, but the 360 has gotten the majority of my attention for the past year and will continue to do so.

Since I had to choose one I said PC, but I game on my PC and my PS3 in about equal amounts, which is to say not much at all these days.

This isn't the case for me, but where's the PnP option!?!?

i only play on consoles for single player or co-op. and even then i will opt for the PC version if one is available. i spend the majority of my gaming on multiplayer titles, and thus most of my game time on the PC.

Still mostly PC. The only game that is installed currently is EQ2, but I have a few other titles to get around to as I play less and less EQ do to time costrictions. If I had my druthers, I would play that fucking game all day, but such is life.

However, I am playing more 360--mostly GH: World Tour since my girlfriend loves it. I am going to get the drums when I move next month. Also, I try to get some quality zombie gaming in on PS3 and 360!

The only game I had been playing on a console was Madden until I found they had it for the PC. I switch to PC two years ago for this game and my PS2 began to gather dust. This last year they stopped making Madden for the PC so I had to buy a PS2 copy so I could play. I won't be buying another Madden game unless they change their view on making it for the PC which I doubt.
