I would consider mods and graphics an overall plus for PC but KB/M is a preference. I don't get why people get so hung up on graphics, I didn't start gaming because things looked good I did it because it looked fun.

The other thing is there's just tons more games on PC vs console. Every now and then console will get a big game that's exclusive to it like Halo, Gears, Uncharted, Last of Us, etc but that doesn't outway the abundance of cheap and fun titles that you find everywhere on PC.

Just looking at the Steam Sale is evidence of that. So many great games that aren't on consoles. If there is an indie or arcade game on console then chances are it is on PC and has been for a while. The reverse can't be said.

As far as the mods, many of them are games in themselves like DayZ for example.

Consoles will never be close in terms of just raw fun content you can find for PC gaming.

I do agree that if you like games you shouldn't let what system they are on hold you back. As much as I hate PSN and the functionality of it, I am going to play The Last of Us soon.

I think mods are a much bigger plus than you are making them out to be. Like Stout said, a mod can be an entire game in and of itself. Mods can also make a good game into a great one solely by changing a few aspects to match the tastes of the player.

I don't think graphics are the end all, be all but if I have a choice between 2 (or more) versions of a game, I'm going to pick the graphically superior one.

KB/M is a preference, sure, but I don't know a single gamer who has played with both seriously, and still prefers the gamepad for FPS's.

Other genre's are more of a toss up, but I use a wired 360 controller or arcade stick on my PC for those.
