    In regards to navigation, not games.

    Yeah for PC->Bone streaming. Would be pretty funny to play cod with kbm when everyone else has a controller lol.

    I can see this useful for navigation for apps like Netflix etc.

    Its for streaming only though, as lucidus said. You wont be playing Halo or COD with a mouse and keyboard unless you're streaming the pc versions of Halo 1/2 and COD series to the xbone.

    Maybe, just maybe there will be a few console f2p's that'll support it, but i imagine ms will do their utmost to discourage it.

    I like this part Xbox One playing online against PC users.

    I hope they bring all their Xbox one exclusives to Win 10 with this feature..

    Thats just the writers wishful thinking. MS wont want to have to deal with the fallout of console gamers being destroyed by having m/kb vs controllers on xbox live.

    Theres enough console hacks making console mp a pain in the ass as it is. M/kb are not going to make things any better.

    I think it would be a terrible idea (as it was in the past with Shadow run) to do this. When i play on consoles, its my break away from overlly intensive gaming, something i do for more fun than competition. Last thing i want with console gaming is to be stuck at a desk yet again. Thats just my opinion on the matter however. I imagine it will be the same for 99%of console gamers.

    I remember Shadow run and Games for Windows Live it was a terrible idea indeed.
    But who knows what might happen this time? its Microsoft after all.

    They might do this with a couple of Games to promote Win 10 then ditch it like Shadow run.

    I agree with your opinion on this matter..All console gamers like to sit on their couch and play comfortably with their gamepad.

    I might own a Pc and have had no console since Playstation 2, but i play only games with controller support, never with K/M.
    I just like the flexibility of PC's, i buy once i high end system then i see GPU's as a console upgrade for better visuals.
    Plus PC games being cheaper pays off in the long run.

    Just an example 10 console games at 60$ equals i high end 600$ gpu.

    I wish a console would support kb+m in all games - at least leave it up to the devs.

    I remember the dreamcast supported online titles with kb+m, it was awesome playing Unreal Tournament like that and Quake 3 arena, I mean both were way better on PC. But it was a really cool, different approach for console that got me to come back to it more often than I would other systems.

    If this ever happens, i'll get a Xbone for sure for CoD and Destiny mainly.

    It's sad that CoD is almost dead on the PC...

    I know the PS2 and PS3 had mouse and keyboard support, so going to assume the PS4 does.

    PS2 support was "ok", ps3 support was garbage. Ps4 kb+m just got announced for October.

    Yeah PS4 has it on some select games, but it's up to developer support, same as steering wheels.

    FF14 of course has it.

    I remember trying PS3 kb+m through a switch
    man it was bad... there was a delay of a good .25 seconds for every key you hit on the keyboard
