I can practice and get good with a controller too, but I don't like  
using the controller.  It's far too limiting.  It's not a matter of  
skill, I just hate using a console controller.

A PC let's you have far more complex controls, and it's just a hell of  
a lot more fun.

The other issue is game play: console games are dumbed down, focus on  
immediate satisfaction, and are not modifiable.

I like some of the games, but generally get tired of them pretty quick.

Some PC games I play for 5-10 years.
