I’m still fiercely loyal to PC gaming. I don’t own any consoles, but from my past experiences, playing RTS and FSP games using a console controller is just the biggest pain in the world. If Sony and Microsoft brought out keyboards and mice (mouses, meece – what is the plural anyway…?) it may change my views, but until I can get the same “controller experience” that I’m used to on a PC, I’m going to stick to what I know. I suppose it depends on what you’re used to playing with though. A console gamer would probably feel more at home using a console controller on a PC than a keyboard and mouse. The difference is that you can ACTUALLY get Xbox controllers for PC…
