Your FAVORITE gaming console?

The way I see it, consoles have their place for certain games and PCs have their place for other kinds of games. I mean, first-person shooters suck on consoles, because using a control stick to precisely aim at a moving target is like trying to parallel park on a crowded street with a monster truck. You just can't do it. The keyboard/mouse setup is naturally inclined to handle first-person shooters. The Wii is probably the only console I will buy an FPS with, but the PC still rules as the FPS King in my book. Plus, the mouse is a natural for RTS games, games like Penumbra, GTA, and a whole slew of others. You'll also, generally, get better graphics for a PC anyway, and unlike a console which can't be upgraded, a PC can.

But some types of games the PC is a bit lackluster with. Driving games, fighting games, or adventure games like (but not limited to) Mario or Zelda perform better on a console system (or, to be more specific, with a gamepad). It's hard to get precision steering on a keyboard, and fighting games which usually involve complex button combinations to perform powerful moves would probably get unintuitive on a keyboard.

So I do like both. My favorites would be the PC for the more hardcore games, and the Wii for the get-together-and-just-have-fun kinda games. One cannot live on Halo alone (not that I like Halo AT ALL but...you get my point).
