GamesIndustry.biz has more quotes on the state of PC gaming, this time from
Steve Nix, id Software Director of Business Development. Nix feels some of the
hardcore PC gaming audience is shifting to consoles, something id cannot
ignore: "There are plenty of people who are diehard mouse and keyboard
guys that may never go to console, and also right now, if you have the highest
of high-end PCs, you're generally going to get a better visual experience," Nix
said. "There's no console out there that's as powerful as a God machine right
now, with a Quad-Core and a GeForce 8800 - it's very hard for any console to
compete with that."
"So you still have PC players, and some players are just console guys, but have
players moved over? Absolutely. We love PC gaming, and we continue to support PC
gaming - but you can't ignore the market realities and the size of the console
market these days."

Why is it that when these guys talk about how mouse and keyboard is so great (because it is) but colsoles offer such and such advantages, that they ignore the obvious issue and question: Why don't consoles support mouse and keyboard? XBox in particular. With the games for windows thing requiring the PC version support an XBox contoller, why doesn't the XBox version of the game do the same?
I'm mouse and keyboard all the way, but if they start offering them as a control option on consoles, I'd at least consider consoles as an alternative. But with out it, it's out of the question. Why is that so hard?
