    It's a simple question. Which do you prefer to play?

    PC would include any computer games.

    Console would include Wii U, XBox, or Playstations 1-4.

    Mobile would be phones or any other portable device, like a PSVita or 3DS.

    Personally, I'm a console/mobile gamer. I own several game systems, and a computer (obviously), but I never play games on my laptop.

    I'm a PC guy, 100% :D They're just awesome overall!

    But, in the second place is definitely the mobile catagory. Just because they're portable...

    I'm for all three xD, I don't really care where I can play games, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer the mobile category.

    tie between console and mobile.
    I play a ton of console and handhold games, so it's hard to pick between those.

    For me it all depends on what kind of game I want to play at the time, so I prefer all of them equally. If its a nostalgic gameboy game, I'd use an emulator on a PC. If I feel like bring a game along on the go for a road trip or something like that, I'd enjoy using a mobile device to play Pokémon X and other fun games. If I'm just bored at home and don't really feel like going anywhere or using the computer, I'd probably resort to a console and play games on it. Though I usually don't use a console by myself. Consoles in particular usually work best when I'm playing with a group of friends with games like super smash bros or mario kart. So basically, I prefer any of them, usually the situation I'm in determines which ones I use.

    I play all 3. PC games are cool because you have stuff like MMOs and you can mod the games easily. Mobiles are cool... well... because they're mobile. Consoles are cool because you don't have to upgrade the hardware in order to play the newest games (except when a new generation of systems comes out).

    Consoles for sure. Feels so good to play my favorite games on the console.

    I've grown up playing console and handheld, but overall I'd say console.

    Mobile's the way to go. Especially if you group in the portable consoles like the OP has. I can play whatever I want, when I want. An abundance of quick, casual games/apps, great prices and no need to rewire your whole bloody house to get things hooked up.

    PC and console games are great too but they're much more expensive and I'm almost always on the go so it's hard to find the time to sit down and play them.

    Up until a few weeks ago, I would have said console first, then mobile, then PC. I just didn't play games on the computer. Recently, I got a steam account. Most of my favorite console games turned out to be steam games as well, and they were cheap. That was the moment I joined the PC master race. Console gaming is beneath me now, and handheld gaming is only for when I'm traveling.

    Is it just me or is playing games on mobile really shitty? I've tried it before and it's really annoying.

    It depends on which games you get.

    I prefer console, but I do on very rare occasions play on PC. But most of the games I like are for console.

    Mobile, probably. I play my mobile games several times throughout the day whereas it can be hard for me to turn on my 3DS even once a week at times because it's just so much more convenient to turn on my phone and play away. Only exception are newly-released Pokémon games - those I'd play for hours at a time on my 3DS.

    Seems like I've gotten lazier with console gaming lately. xD;

    Console mainly for me. The only game I have for my laptop is Minecraft and maybe a couple ROMs. I'm just not use to using a keyboard, and I can't seem to ever get a controller to hook up right to my laptop to make it easier.

    I do all three, but I play games on mobile/portable systems most frequently. Can't really take my Gamecube/PS2 to college (well, I could, but I'd rather not), my Mac can't play too many games (most of the games I have on it are ROMs), and my other laptop is limited to certain games due to age + system (Windows Vista). I almost always have my 3DS with me, and I have a small backpack containing my iPad, DS Lite, and PSP, so I can easily carry that around.

    Personally, I like the PC more than I do my Console. But I play my console more, because my PC is a brick.
