completely depends on the person. PC vs Console in terms of competitive gaming is basically irrelevant, esp with the advent of advanced online gaming protals lead by xbox live that has closed the gap for ease of access for high lv competition.

Each medium has it's share of true gosus and absolute morons.

Consoles are better because they give you more noobs to own. You can't be pro unless you make a living owning noobs. And PC has been running out of noobs lately because they all are playing carebear games like WoW.

Arcade gaming requires the most skill and has the best players (from game selection). =/

Anyhow, if you're looking at the platform itself rather than the games, the only substantial difference comes from the methods of input. Most PC games are designed around having mouse/keyboard input. Most console games are designed around having that console controller for input. This means the PC can support RTS games (lol at SC64?) and very arguably FPS better. For a turn-based strategy game, it doesn't really matter what the input is, so both do well. Same for RPG for the most part, etc. You can go through all the genres, how the games are designed around the inputs, and the like.

In terms of the content of the games, it's just a Western/Eastern developer war for the most part.

PC is harder because there are more buttons which means its harder to master. Simple fighting games like SC take about a day to learn the combo's and then you're a pro. There are only a few select games that are competitive for console like halo and the only reason it is so popular is because its the only good multiplayer based fps.

So more buttons = harder to master?

Since when do fighting games take a day to master.

You never heard of fighting game competitions?
