a computer for computery things, and a console for consoley things, etc.
That is also my opinion.

I never used consoles until the PSX was very cheap and I discovered RPGs on that platform. Now I prefer playing on consoles and doing all the other stuff on the PC, almost no gaming on PC, which is also due to being more comfortably installed on the couch rather than on a chair to play. I still do like adventures and some other strategy titles which are unplayable (or not released) on consoles, but for the most part, I choose a console.

In the past I never could have imagined to use consoles, as I was a real computer freak using C64 and Amiga most of the time, I never had friends with NES, SNES or other consoles. And I had no money to buy different machines, so I was stuck with the one I had.
