True, True... the stuff does usually make it to the PC.
I got a Wii for my kids... so I think I'll try it out there first. Probably a lot more fun to swing a light saber with a Wii controller anyway.
What I dislike about games on the PC (in general) are:
1) I never seem to have that perfect mix of hardware to run the things flat out
2) Configuring for optimal performance is such a time consuming pain... and I usually seem to break 5 other things that were working fine in the process.
3) PC games don't seem to work out of the box! There seems to be this expectation nowadays that you must D/L patches before the thing will run.
What I dislike about console games:
1) Nobody is making games for Sim/RTS fans (with the possible exception of car racing games). I want SH3 and Falcon on the x360.
2) Limited FCS, keyboard, and mouse support for games.
3) Limited support for modders.
What's interesting is that I see the negatives related to PC gaming continuing to get worse while the negatives associated with console gaming will probably diminish. As the cost of next-gen consoles climb into the $300+ range I don't see them continuing to be viewed as playthings for children... I think that perception has already begun to shift. Now we just need the games to catchup a bit in sophistication. I'd be content to never play a game on the PC again... it's just that console game devs aren't making the kind of games I like.
