For games that can't be played on PC. Games such as The Last of Us, Killzone, Uncharted and Halo are all brilliant games that can't be played on my platform of choice, unfortunately.
Why ask such a question unless you have a particular console in mind? Â I can't possibly fathom the number of great games that exist across all platforms.
Personally I have consoles for the following games, partly because I have certain genres I prefer on one platform over the other due to historic reasons, which might not be the case anymore.
Consoles are used for: Party games, fighting games, platformers and the before mentioned exclusives for me. I simply prefer those games on a console (apart from exclusives which I have no choice) aswell as ports that are bad on the PC, which are few and far between nowadays.
Well, I got a Wii because back then I was such a Nintendo fanboy (I was 15 years oldwhen I bought it). PS3 because I wanted FF13 and VS13. 13 was such a disappointment, luckily, not my ps3.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Red Dead Redemption....thats about it lol. Originally bought Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on PS3 just to learn how fail those both are on consoles, especially Skyrim. I really only get consoles for the MGS and GTA exclusives and to play with my brother and a couple friends who dont PC game.
I guess I got my PS3 for uncharted, to see what the fuss was about. UC2 alone is enough justification for my purchase. 360 I got partly to get through the halo and gears series. I was turned off halo 3 ODST when my save file broke and haven't been back.
I bought a PS3 when Valkyria Chronicles came out, and MGS4 was coming up. Before that, I got an XBOX when Halo 2 came out. And then before that I got an NES in 1989 I believe. I didn't play many console games until the PS3. I might be getting a PS4 when Infamous SS comes out.
I originally bought an Xbox 360 before I was into PC gaming but I kept it around pretty much for Halo and the games I already owned on it. Â I got a PS3 earlier this year so I could play Uncharted (what a disappointment), Killzone (meh.), and I still have a few games like The Last of Us, inFamous, and the Metal Gear Solid collection. Â Also, I enjoy the option to play locally in games like Mortal Kombat and LittleBigPlanet 2.
I originally regretted the purchase, but now that Grand Theft Auto V is coming out first on consoles, I regret nothing. Â Plus, the new release of Diablo III on consoles looks much better than the PC version (not graphically of course, I mean in terms of game design).
I got a free PS3 from a TV deal back a few years ago, but I would have bought one just for Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid 4. These 4 titles are by far of superior quality of technical and an intellectual marvel so If you already have a decent PC i'd highly recommend PS3 over 360.

This and split screen related games.. It's a blast to play together all on the same screen.. Unfortunately very few pc games allow this.
[QUOTE="m3Boarder32"]I pretty much buy all multiplats on consoles. I prefer the Home Theater Envirwnt of my consoles vs that of sitting at a desk playing games please don't start your bull here, thanks
360's gone but I still enjoy the PS3 for games like The Last of Us, Tales of Xillia and Metal Gear Solid Rising (didn't have a PC announcement when it released).
Now that I'm looking at a new gen and more comfortable with PC gaming I'm only for sure getting a Wii U. Though I'll probably pick up a PS4 for Metal Gear Solid V, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV (though I suspect MGSV and FFXV may end up on PC).
I also own both handhelds. I just like games in general. I don't have the time to play through half the stuff I get but I don't really care.
Demon Souls and Red Dead Redemption. Although, I've bought several other games, but I just can't stand playing on PS3... I have Last of Us, played only 1 hour and I can't even be bothered to continue. Everything about it just feels slow and weird. Iono. Just me.
I had a crappy PC back in the day so I got a ps3 for christmas. That's why. But now, I got a good gaming PC and havn't touched my ps3 for more than a year now.
PS3... ah I just got it because the PS2 was the best console I ever had. I was really expecting to see awesome games as good as Final Fantasy X on the PS3, but I got FFXIII instead. The other reason I got it was for MGS4. For a while, I wasn't really even that big of a fan of the PS3. Then I played Uncharted... for me, that made the system worth it. Oh, and God of War: Ascension is pretty badass. It's my favorite since the original GoW. As for the Wii? I got it because I like Mario and Zelda games. I had an Xbox 360 at one point, and I bought that because Halo was literally my favorite FPS ever. Still is. Deal with it. Sold my 360, though. After the freezes started to get somewhat more frequent, I knew it was time to get rid of it.

What? There have been thousands of great console exclusive games. You make it sound like if a person who plays games on PC that also owns a console would only own one because of a couple games. Hate to tell you but there are a metric shit load of great console games that will never be on the PC.
Real gamers dont play a pc or consoles, they play games.

Yeah, but honestly. You think I'd want to buy consoles if all games were available on PC? I support the idea of a centralized platform. So annoying to have multiple platforms if you ask me.

Personally I find it a pain to start my console to play games on it... it takes forever to load a game... even if I'm a great fan of Forza and FFXIII, I just don't play them because it's easier to just fire a game on my pc. I hope there will be a next gen console version with SSD, I find it stupid that they passed on one of the best improvement of computer hardware of the last decade.

You do realize some games play much smoother and the controls are far superior on consoles, right? PC does it best with FPS and RTS games specifically. Consoles are far more standardized and accessible for gaming than a bulky PC. Mostly professionals into video editing, graphics, programming, web development and game development use PCs regularly. Also hardcore gaming enthusiasts who play StarCraft, Dota, League of Legends, etc which can't be found on consoles. But most gamers play on consoles.

No games play 'smoother' on consoles, and pretty much all modern games on PC work with controllers.

I've played several console titles on my PC, and they play far better on my PC. 60fps, maximum graphics and whichever controls I want.
I wouldn't have bought it myself, but friends bought me a Wii U. I use it to play the Nintendo exclusives that will never be on PC. The touchscreen controls can be fun. I also have one of the original Xbox 360s. I got that because my computer wasn't good enough at the time to play games. It mostly collects dust now because my favorite games RPGs are usually better on PC.
