In Sweden its the most popular sport for example. Or just look at big big battles in bf1942 where theres like 60 persons on a single server. It is those elements I miss the most in a console. Closest thing that comes to something like it is Halo, Halo 2 I guess.
It doesn't surprise me that all the games you mentioned are FPS.

I don't see any of the big three being pushed out of the game market from next gen battle. And yeah, PC gaming is shit compared to console. Just a far larger variety of genres on the console. As of now, all three systems look boring as shit to me. All the videos for PS3 were freaking sequels, none of the XBOX 360 stuff has wowed me and there is no info on the Revolution right now, I think I am just going to wait untill the god damn things come out to say any thing real critical or what not.

According to Joystiq, Nintendo has told them that all the archived games for the Revolution will be FREE!! If it turns out to be true then I believe Nintendo will be a formidable force in the console wars.

About the PC vs. Console thing: I think it's starting to level out. Consoles are getting graphically better as well as porting games. The biggest thing that the PC had on consoles was online gaming. Consoles really didn't have it until a few years ago. Don't forget about games like Diablo and Everquest that were huge online ;) (only non FPS i could think of).... A while back you couldn't get that on consoles, but you can now. PC still has the better FPS games, and probably will for a long time since mouse is way more accurate than a joystick. However Consoles have better sports, fighting, and role playing games.

If Microsoft somehow manages to pull a Halo 3 developed by Bungie out of their... sleeve... by the time the PS3 launches, I'll have to buy the 360. I won't otherwise. If it's a Halo 3 not developed by Bungie, I will actively start hating every single console venture from Microsoft.

I'll have to buy the PS3 for MGS4, DMC4, Square-Enix and whatnot.

I will buy the Revolution because of Zelda, Mario and Metroid, as well as the insane library of high-quality titles available for download.
