I can't say I'm really a fan of high-end PC gaming. I don't like having to upgrade every little while and install new hardware and software just to play the latest game which won't even run at full capacity until an even more powerful graphics card is released months or years down the line. I've also always preferred a gamepad/controller to a keyboard and mouse. I do however do some gaming on the PC, to an extent; but usually with older and/or lower-end games such as Quake 3 Arena and Gunz. The sort of games I can run at 100% without a huge ongoing investment in the latest graphics cards.
When it comes down to it, I just like the simplicity of consoles; it's a pre-set, pre-made gaming unit. You don't have to tweak filters and antialiasing settings or anything of that sort, the console manufacturer and game development companies take care of that for you. That coupled with the fact that for me, the PC game market doesn't really have a large majority of game genres and brands I enjoy. I'm not interested in most FPS, RTS, or simulation games, and outside of emulation of older console games, I can't play the newest Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, and other new console brand exclusives on the PC.
