Neither, unless there are games you specifically want for it. If you
already have a PC, then you effectively already have an Xbox -- and your
PC probably runs at better resolution. An Xbox is just a non-upgradable
PC that has some limited (and not very good) games ported to it.
Only get a console system if there are really games you want for them,
or you want to use it with controllers that aren't available for the PC.
I only recently got a PS2, and that was simply because Wipeout Fusion
came out for it and the GunCon2 games became available like Time Crisis
II and Ninja Assault. If you want to play first person shooters --
especially with a mouse -- a console system is the last thing you want
to buy.
