A little help for school please

PC, it has better graphics because of the hardware used. PS uses a 7900GTX (I think) and the 360 uses a X1900. 720 will use a 6670. In PC you can have way better hardware than that, obviously  

Also you can play strategic games, like Starcraft. And you can play first-person shooters with a mouse and keyboard, as God intended.

well, first of all, this is a PC hardware forum (especially on the graphics forum). I think you'd practically only get PC votes here  

Otherwise, I think if you have the time and the money, a PC is by far the better system as it is more versatile. building a good gaming machine is a very educational process for the basics of hardware/software. additionally, most good gaming machines can be used for other applications such as photo/video editing, or contribute to the scientific community through applications like folding@home

don't know what resources I can point you to, but I would suggest you do your research for yourself, it's a useful skill to have in the working world, and I'm sure it's a part of the reason why your teachers assigned the project   (I'm a researcher myself in a reputable institution in the US so I speak from experience)

a few simple advantages off the top of my head are that PCs with good hardware can achieve higher average fps with higher minimums. this is great if you want to have stable 60fps or something. PCs also offer more 3D gaming support and 3 monitor surround. HOWEVER, consoles are a much simpler and cheaper solution, and easier to trouble shoot. if a game has issues running on a particular console, you'd have a much easier time finding a solution than doing the same for your specific hardware/software combination of your PC.

Hi  

PC as the graphics on a high end PC are YEARS ahead of ANY console..

All the best Brett  

for the games to compare graphics between PC and consoles

look at skyrim and/or BF3

I have both a PC and a PS3.

The mouse/keyboard combination is much more responsive in FPS games. Also, a keyboard has at least 108 keys, most of which can be remapped in games. The console controller has less buttons and has limited configurations in games.

Also, consoles are becomming more like PC's. The ps3 has a hard drive, an optical drive, built in networking, a web browser,... If consoles were better, I think PC's would be becoming more console like. I guess you can interpret this as PC's have a general usage where as consoles used to be more specific - gaming only.
