Just out of curiosity, where are you going to place the keyboard/mouse if/when they release it?

That's my problem with the release of a keyboard and mouse. You need a desk. My TV is situated in my computer room near a comfortable lounge. There's no desk except for my PC and Monitor (what I'm using now).

So for me personally, the keyboard and mouse won't be used on a console, unless there's a desk I was gonna buy. Even then, it would be weird.

I guess it would take some people effort to find a place for their new keyboard and mouse, but I really doubt that it would be a deciding factor on whether or not someone buys a keyboard and mouse for their console. Or if Microsoft would release one, for that matter. Personally if I wanted to play a videogame with a keyboard and mouse I would go over to my computer. I play console videogames because they aren't computer videogames.

I agree with what Gekko is saying, games like Quake and Unreal are meant for PC. If they port it to console it would be weird. Even if they made it specifically for console.

Like if CS was to come to Xbox, I think it wouldn't be nearly as much fun or satisfying as PC (assuming the person has played the PC version).

I don't have a problem with FPS that are exclusive to consoles and not Pc's such as Perfect Dark, and Halo.

But when games like Half Life, Max Payne and Unreal come to console, to me it's just a waste.

I don't understand how it is weird... I mean if someone played a FPS first on Xbox and then played it on the PC with a keyboard and mouse then it would be weird to them, or vias versa. If the game was ment to be played on the computer then it should be played on the computer. But if the developers can re-tool some parts of the game to take advantage of a console controller or make it exclusive for a console then I see no problem in it.
