Any FPS that you can play without a mouse requires zero skill. This is an objective fact.
Having played both (on consoles and on PCs...though PC FPS's were more when I was younger...Quake, Unreal Tournament etc.) I still see no proof that makes this "objective fact" The very fact that there are players that are better than others in Console FPS games implies that there is a level of skill. If there were no skill required, you, me, anyone could start playing Halo or CoD and immediately become one of the best in the world simply because of being a mediocre FPS PC gamer. The idea is ludicrous.

In what? Quake or Unreal on a PC? Well obviously, if they weren't used to gaming on a PC. Or are you arguing that the Quake and Unreal players would be naturally better if they switched to a console and faced a superb CoD or Halo player in those games? I'd like to see evidence of this, because it sounds like Glorious PC Gaming Master Race propaganda.
You've talked before about PCs being better for FPS games due to the nature/responsiveness of a mouse versus using a thumbstick to look around. I'll buy that (though, some of the best Halo/CoD players I've seen have their stick sensitivity set so high they can turn and aim very, very quickly).
I just don't understand how you can say across the board one takes more skill than the other...or if one player is good at one (or even mediocre), they are inherently better than even the best players of the other. They are different skill sets, and while you can argue about the quality of gaming experience, the challenge of using a keyboard and mouse to move and shoot versus 1 controller...saying that across the board, players of one are "better" than players of the other, or that one has "zero skill" required has exactly zero basis in fact.
Present me with some real objective proof to back up your statements here (other than your own opinions and declarations), and I'll concede the point. You're a lawyer, I need evidence.
