PC.
X360 and PS3 are limited by their hardware and force developers to make shitty-looking games for us PC players.I know right? I chose the most unpopular decision… Ironic, isn’t it?
Reason for decision:
1. Getting a good PC would take until July… Yeahhh…
2. Xbox 360 was eliminated since, for one, my cousin has a PS3 so he can help me with it, and two I know several people who has the PS3. So yeah…
I kinda want an Xbox 360… But too late for that now…PS3 for what? God of War 3? Button smashing isn’t my style; I prefer Devil May Cry.

Crysis was damn good and we all know it, but only the best of computers of its time (and even today) can run it with max settings smoothly. Also, I’m sure you’ve played the Assassin’s Creed ports for PC. The view distance isn’t nearly as brilliant as on the consoles. If you play PC and then go to a 360 or PS3, you’ll think “Oh my god, why didn’t PC have that?” Why didn’t PC have that? Because PCs, except for those several PCs that can actually run Crysis, can’t handle it.

Resident Evil 4 looked liek shit. FPS caps are made on the PC because the Xbox/PS3 can’t higher ones (like Gears of War and Halo). Certain games REQUIRE joysticks. Games like The Last Remnant are directly ripped from Xbox.
However, there are some GREAT ports like Chronicles of Riddick, Fable: The Lost Chapters, the GTA series. But its not about ports, it’s also about why games aren’t looking like Crysis in this day and age. Because consoles can’t handle it.
I made this computer for $1000 3 years ago. It ran Crysis. It still runs a lot of stuff. It doesn’t run BC2. But alot of PC games made from Xbox and PS3 look and feel like crap because they are ports. You can feel the strafing is different, auto-aim is removed, movement itself is strange because of the mouse’s flexibility.
Fable is awesome. I pirated it after playing it on Xbox lulz
You have you to realize that consoles also force coders to code efficiently. For example, the crappy ass game Sonic The Hedgehog on Xbox 360 has terrible graphics yet pushes the 360 to its limits, while Halo: Reach will have beautiful draw distance, millions of polygons per model and like 20 AI on screen doing stuff at once. Chances are, if consoles didn’t exist and computers were good, most games would be crappy and use the same processing power as Crysis without the Crysis.
