I couldn't agree more with you. I hate consoles (although my teenage Son loves his - he has an Xbox and a PS2) and would personally never play an RPG game on one. A game is much more immersive close up on a monitor/lcd than at a distance on a TV screen no matter how big it is. A few games, not naming any, which have been ported over as you mention have been dreadful on the pc. The PC is far superior graphically and as far as control systems go and ease of use. My hands would give up if I had to use a controller for long periods. Console games seem to be made very easy too and don't seem challenging enough.
I've played other types of game on them, like platform games and quizzes which work better that way but for an RPG or shooter definitely PC. Another thing about the PC which is good is fan created content which can be downloaded for some games without requiring you to have another online account.
