Do you think that a console shooter is more enjoyable on a computer, or is it better to play it on its original platform (in this case, the consoles)?

It largely depends on what the original platform was, and how well the game is optimized for that. Back in the day i'd try Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 Arena on my Dreamcast and come away decidedly unimpressed -- they were better with a keyboard and a mouse.
But my perception changed the first time I played Metroid Prime on my GameCube -- here was a first person shooter that was designed from the ground up to work with the controller it was developed to play with. Since then there have been quite a few other games that work a lot better with game controllers than they do with mice and keyboards, and that's fine.
But one game that I cannot play on the console is Halo. For me it's mouse/keyboard or bust.
