I have both a PC and a PS3 ( if you don't use a PS3 for games it's the best blu ray player on the market and has a great upscaling).
I play on both and to be honest I think this discussion about which is better ... well... just bollocks .
I have Mass effect 1&2 ( plus all downloadable content) on my PC ( mainly because I bought both of them before it was announced on PS3) but I would enjoyed the game just as much on the PS3/XBOX/PSP.
I think that consolegaming will at a certain point in time outlive PC games, but not because they are better, but because a lot of PC gamers play a " cracked" version and that is ruining the market for a large part, incidentally it is also the reason for developers to make MMO's, because it's the only way to get a bit of money for their games. AND I HATE MMO'S..GRRRRRRR

Where in the past games got ported from PC to console , I now see a lot of that in reverse and that PS3/XBOX games get ported to PC and that is because the companies who make games see a lot more money coming back from consolesales than PC sales ( cracked version).
And I think that is the reason that games are not looking better on PC then on PS3/XBOX, I wouldn't either to be honest let's face it developing a game nowadays costs miljons and miljons of euro's/dollars, so why would you make the game better for a certain platform if I know that most of the people on that platform are using cracked copies.
And as long as this awareness is not shared by us the consumer I think that games as we know them now will not change or flatly disappear and then we have to stick to games like angry birds ( BARF)

EDIT:
I also hope that in the future MICROSOFT ad SONY will stop this Console war thing because I would really love to play a game like Fable on my PS3 and I am sure that there are people who own a XBOX would like to play Killzone 3 on their XBOX
