Console hardware is outdated, if you note the horrible ports from console to PC. The market is mostly console dominated, so thus a lot of games (not all) are usually ports. Usually the unpolished and clunky controls, were just badly ripped from a console to a PC.

BF3 / MW3 (never checked MW3) are huge games, so they want the PC versions to show more polish. Same goes with Portal 2 when that was released. Overall you can spend right now, obviously a large amount of money for a PC. Just that PC will last you quite a while, sure a console will last but it's going to show it's age.

Anyone remember how N64 was the first real 3D console, that actually took off because of decent things? Now you look at those games and think, how could anyone even play those? "Kids" of this generation are spoiled, and I'm quoting kids because of obviousness.

Also yes PC games tend to span various genres, while a console I don't see usually straying far. There's the typical FPS and so on, but really there's so few games to break the trend. Thus PC > Console overall, but I'm a biased PC user to everyone. Despite having grown up from the NES / SNES times, all the way up through the consoles. Even have a 360 which just sits there collecting dust.

AoE - RTS, Starcraft - RTS, Runescape - MMORPG, Quake - FPS (just to classify what everything is)

Way off topic now.. just really you'll see people argue / nitpick over things. The whole compare a game thing is worldwide. It's not restricted to just the FPS genre either, ever looked at the MMORPG genre? It's just people see an idea and run with it. Usually always copying things and so on.. you'll never avoid carbon copies of things. It's just how people are in this world.
