They're all boring, run around and shoot stuff, environments within which gameplay is pretty much the same old same old.
Computer and console gaming are not comparable at all -- console gaming is far superior! Computer gaming is more about measuring hardware performance than actually playing said games, and too a large extent the development reflects that. So much goes into pushing graphical boundaries there doesn't seem to be much left over for working on new, unique and -- wait for it -- FUN concepts... Yes, yes, some people like them, but they're mostly socially maladjusted, pimple faced teen boys who split their time evenly between fragging and whacking -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, that would be your opinin dear Matsu. Which you hopefully will agree with me is subjective. How would you qualify what makes good gameplay for a guy like me? I bet I would know that better myself, so I merely stated that PC gaming and console gaming didn't compare not that one kind was superior. Sure PC's are better for shooters, which I kinda get the impression you are willing to admit, but there are also things where consoles are better. So it relly depends on what kind of games you like.
Actually I would probably say that the Wii would supplement a PC better than the other consoles, simply because it is attempting something new.
Oh, and when you have been spending your entire day with MS Office it's actually quite a relief to just go shoot some mercenaries on a tropic island. And where is Civilization or anything like that on the consoles?
