Whats better to get into pc or xbox?

Should i just get into pc gaming with my friends because they say its alot more fun and less rage compared to xbox live,
they say its a lot easier and they say i should get into world of warcraft. But i'm more of a shooter gamer (Call of duty,Gears of war)
Its probably going to take some time to adapt to.
Im a leaderboards whore, i love to be high ranked in certain things. (last time i check i was 200 in the world on execution.)
I was going to put about 400$ into my computer to fix it up a bit.Or to put it into new games on xbox.

But all my friends are right handed (when i play realm of the mad god i play on the number pad (8,4,5,6) instead of W,A,S,D.

Any ideas?

 

PC Gaming > Console gaming.

Any day.

 

Really the only thing better (in my opinion) on consoles are sports games, everything else is better on PC, and your friends are correct, you will meet 1 asshole on PC for every 100 you'd meet on XBL

 

Go for PC, Xbox is terribly outdated. PC has many advantages over Xbox in terms of gaming.

 

If you really want to have fun then go with xbox

 

Computer is most certainly an overall better investment. Plus if you don't like keyboard and mouse you can use a joystick/xbox controller.

 

I would go for X-Box alot more games to explore that way.

 

PC... hands down.. I have a decent laptop so not only can I use emulators (Wii, PS2, etc.) but there is also a good selection of PC games that even run with better graphics than consoles (so I'm told when I'm showing off =p).

Plus, you can use whatever type of controller you want.. I pretty much use my PS3 controller for all games on my PC.

 

I'd say PC as you can do way more stuffs and play way more games e.t.c

 

PC all there are on xbox is whiny little kids.

 

Really? I'm sure if you have a decent gaming PC you would be able to play many, many more games than you could on Xbox...

I would go with PC, you can get a semi-decent gaming PC for a relatively small amount of money, and the gaming experience is un-rivaled imo.
Although if money is a major problem, go with consoles because the price is much cheaper.

 

PC is better because it offers better graphics, and you said you like shooters so it is much easier to do that with a mouse. Also, you can use your Xbox controller with your PC as well. The only thing that Xbox has more than PC are the exclusive games, Halo for instance.

 

xbox man

 

I say xbox

 

XBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pc is awesome for gaming and everything its just too much and costly just buy a simple xbox and you can enjoy yourself

 

PC

Lots of advantages.

Free games lol. Better perfomance. Can be upgraded.

Cheaper

 

Depends on what games you want to play.

I would say grab a good pc and hook up an xbox controller to it.

 

360. Most of you friends probably have it because i dont know anyone that plays on pc

 

Well there has been a few points raised already but I believe you should list all of your friends that game xbox and all of your friends that game pc and go from there. It's always more fun gaming with your friends.

 

fps games= pc.
mouse + kb is so much better then controllers its not funny.
