PC Games have better support because you get patches, mods, better Online play, etc

Exhibit A: XBox Live. The experience of XBox Live is tremendous. It patches games, distributes extra content, and is amazing Online play.
Yes but Microsoft makes you pay for XBox Live where I play CS: Source and Space Empires IV for free and get updated content for free and there are mods for PC games and no mods for console games.

True, you do pay for Live, but I view it as similar to a MMO PC game. Its not too expensive really.
Game mods, well, that is true. The best example of a console game being modded is Halo2, where you can download new gametypes that other players make. Other than that, there are only game content downloads, which is developer controlled.
