-Mods
-Better graphics
-Better exclusives (arma 2, stalker series, dawn of war, deus ex 1, ect)
-Indie games
-Better controls (M+KB or controller if you want)
-Dedicated servers
-Free DLC
-Cheaper games (I got AC3 for 12$, lol)
-60+ FPS (consoles are locked at 30)

The only good thing about consoles is a handful of exclusives that don't hold a candle to most PC exclusives.

Its hardly a fight, I list these same things over and over, yet people have such a hard time accepting one is simply better than another. I have heard some crazy things over the past month on this subforum trying to somehow make a console seam better in some situation.

Sadly, there is virtually no situation a console can be better.

Mods-In my opinion, mods don't fit in with games, how would you like seeing Sakura from Naruto replace The Heavy in TF2? Awkward!
-Better graphics-Graphics don't make a game
-Better exclusives (arma 2, stalker series, dawn of war, deus ex 1, ect)-We have good games as well!
-Indie games-Can't argue with that, The Ship player for life!
-Better controls (M+KB or controller if you want)-It abuses laptops without mouses, because you can't scroll down
-Dedicated servers-20-30 something ragequiters?
-Free DLC-I got Street Fighter X Tekken, and they promised all the DLC characters would be there at the start, still waiting....
-Cheaper games (I got AC3 for 12$, lol)-Maybe...
-60+ FPS (consoles are locked at 30)-^^^^
-Free recording software-^^^^
-Better community-Look at all the PC kids going "LOL CONSOLE PLAYERS ARE DUMB!"
-More updates-Terraria stopped updates, but other then that....
-Gets games early-Street Fighter X Tekken came out on consoles in March, then in May for PC.
-Free online service-Hell yeah!

Name one game where a PC game has good controls, on consoles, everything has a purpose, on PC, you could hit a wrong button on accident and then die.

Why the hell do we have to fight?

Consoles do outperform consoles usually, but they still have their advantages.

Also, OP, no one asked for a reminder of why PCs are so superior.

"Name one game where a PC game has good controls, on consoles, everything has a purpose, on PC, you could hit a wrong button on accident and then die."

starcraft 2 and every other rts in existence

arma 2 (rusty, but would be nigh impossible to port onto a console because of the complexity)

too lazy to list any more

@Over

Most of your exclusives would go under indie or nostalgic gaming mentioned earlier.

After scanning the list, at least a quarter of them are at least pre-2005. I confused the term "indie". That was my fault.
