Saw this over on NeoGaf:
“New wireless protocol, combined with the ability to work in ‘wired’ mode, and the addition of features like Impulse triggers, means that new software has to be written and optimized for the PC,” the Microsoft spokesperson says. “There is also some work that we need to do to make sure that existing PC games that support the Xbox 360 controller will work with the Xbox One controller.
“While it seems trivial, it’s actually quite a bit of dedicated work for all that to be seamless for the user.”
Microsoft says it expects PC compatibility will be functional sometime in 2014.
