    Alright gang, simple question, do you prefer one of the following:

    A ) PC Gaming, where you play all sorts of video games on your computer. It can be really convenient on days where you want to stay at home; its also arguably the most effective way on communicating with a lot of people, at least when playing games like MMOs and so on.

    B ) Playing on your Consoles. You pick up a controller, and turn on your Consoles and play a ton of games that you own! You can also grab multiple controllers with your buddies and play multiplayer games too!

    C ) Handhelds like the 3Ds or PS Vita. It can be played at home, or on the go; you can carry it anywhere! Plus, nowadays, you can connect with various people online to play games along with ya. So again, which do you prefer, and why?

    Consoles. I tend to have a lot more fun on different games than handhelds, and I don't game on my computer.

    Handheld! I love how easily and quickly I can turn on my 3DS, swap games if need be, and just play away. The Wii U is fast enough to turn on as well but I generally don't enjoy playing much on a bigger screen, especially since my so-called "TV" is horrible and bad for the eyes. PC games I unfortunately do not play anymore and have not for years. :(

    I enjoy consoles the most. Gaming without a controller feels weird to me, and the games I like most are usually either on console or handhelds.
    Plus, online gaming with friends is just easier for me w/ consoles since most of my friends game on consoles too.
    Handhelds are pretty enjoyable too.

    Hmm, I don't have any particular preference towards any. I would have to say Console because there is something abut having the physical controller with your hand that is nicer with gaming.

    Easily handhelds. PC just isn't my thing since I use a Mac and consoles tend to be kinda annoying to use, at least for me. I've always played with handhelds and really love using them. Praise the 3DS.

    I love PC personally. Since I have a laptop, my PC also serves as an oversized limited handheld.

    I'm a PC guy, but consoles hold a close second. Handhelds take third only because the other two just barely eke out in front of it on my preferred gaming methods.

    First off.
    I am a gamer, so i play many games.
    I own 3DS, Wii, PC and Playstation 2.
    Buuuut if i had to choose i would say:
    PC MASTER RACE!
    STEAM!
    GABE!
    Excuse me went a little too wild.

    But i think Pc is the best platform for gaming.
    -PC's dont have generations. They just get upgraded.
    -Steam is almost monopolistic when it comes to online/cloud shoppin games.
    -Modability.
    -It has its benefits as a gaming platform and as a workstation.

    So yeah.

    I've got mixed feelings when it comes to gaming. I pretty much love all platforms, so it's difficult to say, but I think I'd be in the Handheld wagon, simply because it holds my favorite franchise created, Pokémon, and also has a relatively large amount of games. i love the 3DS, and do like PS Vita as well, to a lesser extent.

    But PC came very close to being my favorite.

    I like my handhelds. I like being able to take my game systems with me everywhere. That is something that PC and Console can't really offer to me.

    I have a slight preference for consoles over the other 2. I think its mainly the controls. My mind and fingers work better with a console controller than with a keyboard and mouse, especially in situations where quick thinking/quick button pressing is needed. And you sometimes have to worry if your PC can handle the minimum system requirements for your games. Not saying I don't like PC gaming, but its usually not my preferred gaming source.

    Handhelds are starting to gain my favor more and more. It used to be that I cared little for handhelds outside of Pokémon, but now I've found more and more handheld games that I like/would like to play, and have been spending more and more time on them lately. They're also good for killing time on the bus ride to my university or when I have breaks between classes~ C:

    I prefer handhelds to the other two. I like that they're portable, as it means I can play video games practically anywhere I go. Plus, in the case of the handhelds I currently own (3DS, DS Lite, and PSP, though I might sell the PSP and its games since I haven't touched it in ages) I have a lot of games I really like playing. Consoles are really fun to play on, but they aren't as portable, plus you need a memory card or enough space to play every game + save your data. As for PC gaming, I am on a Mac, so I don't think I need to explain why I'm not too into that 8D (I do have a computer that runs Windows, but it's ~6-7 years old and is pretty slow.)

    Although I wouldn't mind playing on all three devices, I've been accustomed to consoles (from Gamecube to PS2 to Xbox 360) from the start, so naturally, I have a better feel for consoles.

    It's always been either Console or Handheld. Most of my games that I have happens to be on the handheld so I think it'll have to go for Handheld games. Even so I love Consoles equally with Handhelds.

    PC MASTER RACE! I play all 3, but I like how PCs have way more games and there are more things you can do with a PC than with a Console/Handheld and you can play with many more people on a PC than a Console/Handheld.

    I Prefer PC, but i love handheld's aswell!

    Consoles are meh. They are fun if you have a friend over night, but i don't really like playing with a controller.

    I Love handheld's portability, You can take them anywhere anytime, Open a game in a flash!

    PC in other hand is the best solution for me. I can play games while having LakeValor open (HUGE bonus!)
    Cloud systems are very advanced, steam is just perfect. (drains money tho).
    Upgrading, No generations! New games all the time!

    On a drawback tho Real workstation PC's Cost really much!

    Handhelds! You can bring it everywhere with you have has relatively nice customization options. I'm either on the run or laying in my bed so handhelds are the best to use when you have nothing to do. I absolutely love it.

    Handheld, the only console that I reallt play on is a Playstation 2 so that's how much I care about consoles and I almost never play games on the pc. So definitely handheld.

    I'm debating between PC or handheld... Both have their good and their bad sides, but I don't think I can choose which one of them is the better... It's definitely not console for me though, I never had a console, and I don't really like it either. I think that in the end, my choice would go to PC, with handheld at a close second.
