PCs are by far the most powerful, but the problem is the games

console's generally have (*turns on flame protection*) the most original games, look at Jet Set Radio for instance, rex, and many other games which r 'different'

i know consoles dont game some of the other great games like the PC does especially in the RTS world (eg C&C, Civ, Settlers) i know some of these games are on console but they dont compare to the feel on the pc

emulation is ok but as some1 sed previously you need a extremely high spec pc for say the xbox, most would think not, compare the spec of the xbox to that of a low/medium end pc, which have generally a higher spec, but unless you get emulation to the BIOS level you always have DOS and windows piled under slowing it down!
