Not everyone use their console on a TV, most people own a mouse and keyboard, and in this day and age they have a wireless set up, so it is extreamly easy to share a M&K between your devices. Going forward all Microsoft games, apps, programms, ect. need to be on XBO. The same should be true for PlayStation as well. This stereotype crap with devices needs to end. We all have our favorite form factors, and OS styles. Every device runs on the same basic hardware now days, it time that all devics are treated equal. I know that will sound corny to some, but it is the Got Damn TRUTH. |
If the vast majority doesn't use their console on a TV, I'm really surprised. Similarly, if the vast majority aren't people that have never even considered using mouse and keyboard with their console, I'm really surprised. Are there even any games that support mouse and keyboard on Xbox One? Can they even be used in games? Who has a couch setup that makes them easy to use? You need some sort of a platform, preferably a comfortably high table at a comfortable distance. And finally: If someone cares that much about mouse and keyboard controls, what are the chances they're not already getting the game on PC?
I'm just trying to say that the number of people ready to use mouse and keyboard for console gaming, assuming it's even possible, is probably really small and might heavily overlap with PC owners or even PC gamers. Essentially, the vast majority of the game's purchasers would still be using a controller, and the game would have to be designed to work well with a controller. How difficult that is depends on the game but AoE being an RTS game, I'd put my money on it being pretty difficult until we know more.
