windbane said: heh, ok, throwing out Japan completely I see. Clever. Still, there are mario games, MGS, FF13. I suppose you are right, though. I can't argue that it's really anticipated. However, you can't forget about Japan just because 1 console can't sell there. But, I'm biased, I just don't play many FPSs on consoles due to worse controls, which reminds me... does anyone know a console game that supports keyboard and mouse input? does halo 2 or any others? I'd think that once that is done every "hardcore" gamer would have to use them. I know I remember reading that a PS3 game will support it, especially since the ps3 supports any usb mouse and keyboard. That'll make console FPSs very interesting with people running around with just their controllers still.

The 360 can easily support a USB Mouse/Keyboard. As far as I know, they are in development or even use thus far. However, they are made by 3rd parties and not-MS sanctioned (but are MS sanctioned due to the hardware embargo). Supposedly, they needed the keyboard/mouse due to World of Warcraft on 360, but Blizzard has been negative on that (but at the same time, prasing the 360's online abilities). Who knows. Either way, I believe both PS3 and 360 will have keyboards at some point in the futre that are used/needed alot. We just have to see how soon.
