I'm going to have to go with "it really depends on the game." The game I play most is WoW, wherein I prefer mouse/keyboard and 3rd-person-following, on another system from the other people playing (including my wife on a nearby computer, who uses similar perspective but adds a gamepad to the mix.) With WoW, I play with an assortment of acquaintances, friends, and strangers online; with other games, totally offline.

We also have a PS3, meaning handheld controllers on a shared device, and perspective really depends on the game -- I enjoy the first-person perspective of Portal 2, the side-scroller view of Little Big Planet, and the in-vehicle or chase-vehicle view of whatever racing game.

In short, *shrug*. :)
