I do a lot less gaming on consoles these days but I still play a shitload of PC games. Better prices, a lot of variety, I can pick and choose what I use for input, etc. I don't make as many impulse purchases in console land after getting burned several times, on the PC even if I'm a moron who preorders something its often $35-40 versus paying $60+. I ran a long HDMI cable so I can play it like a console or just sit at the PC too which is nice. Another beef I have is that the digital pricing for many titles on the consoles takes way too long to come down, I often just get the PC port down the road instead. Finally, I find that many genres I enjoyed growing up aren't as well represented these days. I get that companies really want mass market success but I feel like its left several genres under represented. I don't think the fans necessarily went anywhere either but the revenue derived from them couldn't compete with the crazy growth in costs for making games.

There have been some good Kickstarter games though which gives me some hope for stuff that the AAA industry can't or won't make.
