I dunno, dude. Hackers and glitchers exist everywhere, and people are far more likely to have their consoles set up in a far worse place in terms of lag than their computer.
On top of that you’re giving up mouse + keyboard for dual analog? O_o

Trust me, I’m not pulling this out of my ass. The reason I’m switching is because I can actually SEE the difference from when I play at my PC to when I go play PS3 at my friend’s house. Also, I’ll be able to play with my friends more often; none of them are PC gamers.
And yeah, I know. Making the switch to dual analog really gave me the challenge, but it’s really not that bad once you get used to it. If you can get accustomed to a high sensitivity it gives a lot of potential when it comes to sniping and snapping to other people.

this.The last three are good… Although, at first I perceived “GeneticSkill” as “GenericSkill” so there’s another idea for ya.

this.I’m just saying, most people have their router set up near their computer while the console is sitting in the living room way away from it. I think the difference you’re seeing is because consoles usually restrict who you can connect to to those within your own country/region whereas on some PC games there’s no restriction on who can play who. Basically, if you’d try a game with dedicated servers (*cough*not MW2*cough*) or one with a decent online setup, you’d see the difference.
Dual analog is inherently inferior to mouse + keyboard. Too slow, too imprecise, too unnatural. That link does look like a decent alternative, though.
Switching for friends I can respect. It’s always more fun to screw around with people you know than random strangers.
Quick scoping is easier on a controller, only reason I would find to use one.

Well, I use a direct wired connection from my PS3 to my modem, so yeah. ^^;;
And dual analog has just amount of potential as a keyboard and mouse does. The first FPSes were made to be played with controllers; I just think it’s hard for us to make that switch because we’ve been computer gamers for the longest time. I’ve seen some people use dual analogs just as good as those with keyboard and mouse (quick scoping, snapping, 180 snapping, turning, etc.)

I wasn’t talking about your lag. I was talking about the lag of other people (which is generally the problem unless you have a terrible connection).
In regards to K+M vs. dual analog:
1) The first traditional FPS is Wolfenstein 3D. It was released on the PC. Console shooters were 5 years late to the game (the first important one being GoldenEye 007 for the N64).
2) I’m pretty sure the issue is you’ve never seen a real pro at mouse + keyboard. The real issue with dual analog is precision. At high sensitivity, there’s too much variation in an analog stick at any given position (the same input does not always lead to the same output). Mice, with their insanely high DPI, allow for much greater precision and are especially useful for keeping things accurate even at high sensitivity.
You can’t do this with dual analog:

Too many cheaters in PC games, I nearly run into a waller EVERY single match I go to, no matter what FPS I play. (Even paid for ones) If you’d prefer a slightly better controller over fair gameplay, then that’s your choice. Quake is too much of a crazy game, (gravity + speed is as fast as Alien Arena / Cube) and 180 degree snapping is a MAJOR requisite to play the game. I have no problem making the switch from mouse to dual analog, and you KNOW how good I was at Combat Arms. (and CS 1.6)
Watch this video and take your mouse and keyboard with you; I’ve seen players make wonders with a controller that a PC gamer would have just as much as a hard time trying to do the same.
