I played many FPS on PCs, and was equally frustrated with my xbox when I first got it. But once I got used to it, I can really say that playing FPSs with a controller is better than with a mouse&keyboard.
To each his own, I guess. I find a good mouse to be the best aiming tool there is.

The console market is already becoming a niche
Do you think so? I think most males in the 10-40 year old age group have at least one console sitting around at home. Many of them don't play them very often, but they got 'em.
I don't know anyone who plays games on an actual PC anymore. Just buying a PC game seems to require you to carry around an encyclopaedic knowledge of graphics cards in order to determine ahead of time whether it'll run.
They're for social games (like WiiSports) that you play with friends and family or story-driven games (RPGs, etc) that you don't need a PC to play.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone plays FPS games on consoles. I play Halo 3 with my son now and the controls are infuriating.
