...or let people plug in a USB mouse and keyboard. Suddenly the console is open to PC game ports.

No it's not unless mouse and keyboard come with the console. Well, at least in practice that's the way it goes.

Not true, Wii U doesn't come default with a Pro controller or Wii Remote yet some games require it. PS3/Xbox360 don't come default with Move/Kinect yet some games require it.

I have no idea about those Wii U controllers as I'm not at all interested in the console, but that Move/Kinect comparison doesn't work. Why? Because of some serious advertising. There's just no way mouse and keyboard could become at all popular on consoles without some heavy marketing, and I don't see it happening any time soon. In practice, it would be a financial suicide to require mouse and keyboard because no one uses them.

They don't have to require a mouse and keyboard. They can just make it an option like Dust 514.

 

Also, nobody uses a mouse and keyboard???
