What exactly IS the purpose of a controller then? Because your saying, giving people a better control for certain game types, and a control setup they'd like better defeats the whole purpose of a controller. Sounds like your saying the purpose of a controller is to suck.


It should allow the user to select the best way to control possible for that certain game. i play mario, i want a controller with a analog stick. But i play Counter-Strike, i want my keyboard and mouse. Should be absolutly no reason why they shouldnt let you do that. sides, most console users are very ignorant when it comes to controls and wont let anything be considered better then a controller in thier minds.

what i meant was, it wouldn't be worth it for the companies because nobody would buy their controllers, and instead use they keyboard/mouse they have for their PC...at least that's what i would do.

what i said had nothing to do with comfort of play and what-not

sorry for the confusion, i shoulda specified.

Well, what Null is saying is that now all games would be best played on Keyboard and Mouse... so it would be worth making keyboard and mouse support for the games that DO play best with it.

Games like racing games, and RPG's I like best on a controller.
FPS def on Mouse/Key
SIMS on Mouse/Key
Any cursor related activity.

But we would still need a controller

yea but companies honestly dont make much at all off thier controllers anyway, the market is already flooded with 3rd party controllers for thier consoles

they would make just as much by making a Sony (nintendo, or ms) brand keyboard and mouse and selling that.

the people who want only brandname stuff are still going to buy that same as if it were a controller.

i really dont think controller sales are an issue for that at all.

On the proposed designs, it looks like they would have to make games where the R1/R2 buttons could not be used simultaneously.
