Then you're both delusional idiots.
Achieving the same speed and fluidity of control with a gamepad as with a mouse is borderline mechanically impossible. That's why all console first/third-person shooters have auto-aim, remember?

Using a controller certainly does not necessarily make a game look bad, but I cannot think of a fps game (other than unoptimised console ports) for which a console/ controller plays better than a PC version in first person. That's a large part of why games with 'shared' multiplayer communities tend to segregate based on platform anyway, even a mediocre gamer on a PC will tend to beat a highly skilled player on a 360 unless there's an artificial penalty.
Of course, if "better" was meant as subjective "can be equally enjoyable" rather than objective "allows the player larger scope and reward for skill" then it is fair to say that it can be true- eg Bioshock is apparently more enjoyable on the 360 in a number of ways such as difficulty balancing and was in movement control, but there isn't much doubt that were deathmatch MP available a PC player would beat a 360 player hands down.

Did Aja hack a couple accounts? That's the only reason I can think of for people saying with a straight face that FPS+controller != lololololol

Maybe if a game is made by a competent development team then the controls won't suck balls?
And more often than not I turn off auto aim as it can be a hindrance.
Back OT, I still say FO3 will be balls because of the combat model and not because its on a console.
what would the world be like without you retards making pointless arguments?

Oh, great. Thanks, Australia.

A world ravaged by nuclear war: perfectly acceptable!
Gameplay where interactions can devolve from insults into murder: just like real life!
Graphic bloody violence: we're mostly fine with that.
In-game body-part-targeting: sure, except for the groin - people only get hit with footballs there.
Drug use: I don't think so.
Sex? No, thanks, we're puritanical.
more of a case of the world over, not just Australia

Big whoop. Go go patches and/or mods! Sucks to be Aja.
This means that I can safely buy the Collector's Edition lunchbox with the artbook. EB had the exclusive rights for that in NZ, but they're known to parallel-import their stock from Australia.
Back to the mouse issue, what Zylon said is entirely true. But if there's a high quality CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE FPS that I'd like to play, I'll do so regardless. Eg The Darkness is a terrific game and shouldn't be ignored just because there's no PC release.

It's starting to irritate me the way everyone's reaction to a broken and/or compromised game is just to immediately spout: MODS RAA RAA WOO.
First off, there are no guarantees of devkits.
Secondly, there are no guarantees the missing features will be implemented well.
Thirdly, it's their fucking game, we should care more about what people are releasing not how we fix it after they release it.
