PC players generally destroy console players in FPS games. I remember Dreamcast owners demanding they split the Quake3 servers after bragging how badly they were going to own us  |

Yup, that's what I'd expect.
Tom said that with a good controller you can play just as well.
What I'd like to see is a) a proof and b) what MS will do once enough XBox players will be moaning about PC players having an "unfair" advantage. |

What I've wanted for years. Yep. No more buying BS priced PC hardware. I hope MS still comes through with this. |

Wouldn't say it's a dream but more an opportunity to save a wack of money I don't care to spend. Way it is today, 98% of games are written for console and then ported to PC. Games on console are way more solid, less patches, more consistent performance. On console, cheating is punished way more severely. PC is a joke especially with FPS games. I'll be able to stream games around the house. Not much downside when you have a console with a keyboard and mouse and your console cost $400. |
