Also i think that most people are able to store monster information to their memory easier with the tile pictures of enemies, than with a letter-colour combination on console (obviously given the same amount of time with each method, someone who played console first will find it harder on tiles and vice-versa).
That being said, console is better for watching someone else play for the reasons already stated: the monster list.

But I think the webcam adds little to it. It seems anachronistic to have a person's face hovering in the corner of the screen where the main content is a decades-old graphical style, but it's just a minor gripe that has little to do with the content.
Also, I think players that actively (as in, vocally) prefer to watch console over tiles are good enough to not need these guides as much, so maybe in the future (if you make more), you could play online on console, with your web browser open and spectating yourself play on webtiles. Then you could have a virtual camera record the browser while you play console, or you could record both in the frame at the same time, but that'd probably be weird and confusing (people would be distracted by looking at the differences in the two versions instead of listening attentively). I've done this before (just the part about playing in console and looking at the tiles version every so often), and the delay between performing an action in console and seeing it happen in tiles is almost nonexistent, it's awesome.
