For the following genres, do you prefer them on consoles or on a PC for the most part?

Action-Adventure (Zelda, Metroid, etc) -
Stealth (Splinter Cell, Hitman) -
Survival Horror (Resident Evil, Silent Hill) -
Fighting (Soul Calibur, Ninja Gaiden, etc)
First Person Shooters (CoD4, HL2, BF2) -
Third Person Shooter (Gears of War, GTA Series) -
Tactical Shooter (SOCOM, GRAW) -
RPG (Guild Wars, Oblivion) -
Plane simulation (Flight Simulator X, Ace Combat) -
Racing (Need for Speed, DiRT) -
Sports (Madden '08, FIFA '08, NHL '08) -
RTS (World in Conflict, Halo Wars, Company of Heroes) -

For myself:

Action-Adventure - Consoles
Stealth - Consoles
Survival Horror - Consoles
Fighting - Consoles
First Person Shooters - PC
Third Person Shooters - Consoles
Tactical Shooter - Consoles
RPG - PC
Plane Simulation - PC
Racing - PC (but only if I have a racing wheel)
Sports - Consoles
RTS - PC

Action-Adventure (Zelda, Metroid, etc) - Consoles, Ocarina of Time would not have been as epic with a keyboard and mouse.
Stealth (Splinter Cell, Hitman) - PC, don't really play these games though.
Survival Horror (Resident Evil, Silent Hill) - Toss up
Fighting (Soul Calibur, Ninja Gaiden, etc) - Console
First Person Shooters (CoD4, HL2, BF2) - PC
Third Person Shooter (Gears of War, GTA Series) - Either
Tactical Shooter (SOCOM, GRAW) - PC
RPG (Guild Wars, Oblivion) - Either
Plane simulation (Flight Simulator X, Ace Combat) - PC
Racing (Need for Speed, DiRT) - Consoles
Sports (Madden '08, FIFA '08, NHL '08) - Consoles

FPS + RTS on PC

Sport + RPG + Action/Adventure/TPS on console.

Not saying, I can't play FPS on console, as I enjoy games like Resistance, but I just like doing 360 degree turn

all-PC

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Never owned a console, never will.
The controllers are invariably shit.

I have an Xbox360 controller for my PC. Never use it but if there is a game where it is better I'll be on it

Everything on console except FPS and RTS (but I don't even play RTS). I'm a console gamer at heart. I <3 my PS2. However, now that I've got a decent PC, I'm starting to get more and more games for it... but they're all FPS.

Everything PC except button-mashing fighting games, especially those side-scrolling SEGA games like "Double Dragon". No shooters belong on consols, I can't aim with those fiddly fucking joysticks.

(We are talking in terms of gameplay rather than game titles right, 'cause although I dislike consoles they do have some wicked titles.)

Sports games suck and don't belong on any format.

Most of my genre platform preferences can't really be filed on one side or another, because I have favorites among both. But as far as consoles are concerned, I generally lean towards the classic rigs, SNES/Sega Genesis and older. As for the Nintendo DS, side scroller is the way to go.

Everything PC, except sports games which are meant to be played on consoles. Madden on the PC = not very good.
Oh, and also action-sidescrollers (Contra, Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug) on the console, because I have them all for the Wii.
Oh, and party games like Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Wario Ware and Fuzion Frenzy on console because A) You can't party around a PC, and B) nothing exists for the PC like these titles anyway.
