Unless they nerf KB/M they are going to really rape the guys who play with controllers and that's about %99 of the players, so don't expect it anytime soon.

exactly. And if I may add, playing on a desk and on a couch (which the majority of console gamers do) are quite different. It wouldn't really work that well.

On PS3/Wii it's supported and up to devs. 360 doesn't allow it iirc, due to Microsoft's fear of 360 being labeled a PC.

kb&m offer unchallenged accuracy when compared to consoles. That's about it.

To tell you the truth I'm actually more accurate with controller control schemes.

It really dependson the person, that's about it.

PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Also depends on the genre.  KB/M might be great for Starcraft or Half-Life, but it pretty much sucks for Super Mario or Devil My Cry.

I'm actually better with a controller when playing Half-Life 2 though I do agree that playing Super Mario Bros sucks playing with KB/M.

To be fair, somehow (as I can remember) DMC4 got respectable scores on PC.
