I think consoles are great for some games. Games where you need four  
directions and some other "kill stuff" buttons. Mostly 2D games -  
platformers, fighting games, space-invaders games, etc. They work for  
some 3D games, too (but not usually as well as a mouse+keyboard+desk).

What I don't understand is fucking Halo. Why the hell would you want  
to play a first person 3D game with anything other than a mouse or  
joystick? Ugh. I wonder how that kind of FPS-only-slower could have  
saved something like the original Xbox, which had nothing else going  
for it.
