Not quite.
I'm not a gamer, but I lived with one as a roommate for fourteen years. Dear Lord, if they're all as worthless and disconnected as he was, the entire group could be thrown away with and no useful part of society would be lost. This knuclehead whined on September 11th that his cartoons had been pre-empted by the news coverage. He was 26 at the time.
Gamers! Get a life man.

My favorite gamecube game was Rogue Leader.

PC gaming is superior to console gaming in every possible aspect.

I agree, but it's too bad that there are a lot of good games out there that are being developed solely for the console market.

What's even worse is that most modern PC games were clearly designed to also function on a console, which means they've done silly things to accommodate both platforms. Skyrim's a good example. That's an outstanding game (obviously), but you know damn well that the interface wouldn't be so clunky if it had been designed solely with a PC in mind.
For some games, the PC is better. For some games, consoles are better. Each has its pros and cons.
digsbe said:For some games, the PC is better.
It's better for two types of games: party games, and games with the word "Madden" in it.
I kept a console around to play Madden with my buddies, and I played social games with buddies at times. Our favorite was Super Monkey Ball.
For everything else, PC without question.
Oh, and if you want to say "Halo", I'll consider it an acceptable answer.
For instance, I can't get over the fact that they made Halo Wars (an RTS game) an Xbox360 exclusive title!
A possible exception would be action-adventure and some hack and slash games which are inherently more suited to gamepad controllers than keyboards.
I'd put MMOG and RTS games on PC, all others on Console. Particularly the FPS genre, it's clearly better on console.

How exactly are you defining better here? Because I'd agree with you that FPS games are both more numerous and generally better quality on consoles, but the PC control setup is better suited to them. Which is why so many of the console FPS games include some sort of aiming assistance, because the control stick sucks for aiming a gun.
I pretty much agree with Gipper though. The only games that are better suited to a console than a PC are party games.
