Better is only relative to the platform you are playing on. The gameplay of FPS's on both platforms are only shadows of one another, with even game design changing depending on the tools used.

PC FPS - Plays on the inherent speed available to a moue and keyboard set-up. They tend to be more "fast twitch" games keying more on reaction time and sense memory than stretegy.

Console FPS - PLays more on strategy than reaction time, as the controller has not true analogue to the spped of the human hand, like a mouse is, or the ability to switch weapons with one stroke. Therefore the design of the game and how you play is built for a slower, and IMO, more realistic experience. Thats why I think story based FPS games tend to do so well on consoles, because the gameplay lends itself to that type of storytelling.

In the end, saying that PC FPS controls are better than console FPS conrols is like saying an apple has better apple flavor than an orange. Of course it does, because and orange is not an apple.
