Question

Mouse And Keyboard support For PS4 Equal Death Of PC?

I just saw this and it got me thinking that the PC could be in trouble if this happens natively and does not require an Eagle Eye or Frag FX to achieve mouse and keyboard support on the PS4. When you think about it the PS4 is a computer and making it work would be the easiest thing ever. With the PS4 being powerful as a mid priced gaming computer, along with this development, we may see a mass exodus to consoles! :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:

    I don't think Pc is in too much trouble, as you mentioned the ps4 is equivalent to a mid-high end gaming Pc. Pc will always hold the crown for having the highest performance, at the lowest cost. Plus the fact that you can simply upgrade certain components when you're running behind, rather than having to buy an entirely new console is a big plus.

    Why on earth are you using a Fragfx or an EagleEye???

    Xim Edge all the way!! No one is sure if it will be PS4 compatiable yet though.

    I can't see a native mouse and keyboard option being available. Alos any decent gaming PC will wipe the floor with a PS4.

    I thought the PS3 already had Mouse/Keyboard native support (for the games that felt like allowing it)?

    I believe Source does as well for CS:GO. I'm not a PS3 owner though so I'm not sure what else does.

    the premise is absurd. PS4, 5, 100, .. will never hold a candle to a real gaming rig.. graphics on the ps4 and xb one are finally to a level where the PC was 2 years ago.. plus youd never see 64 v 64 or 128 vs 128 multiplayer matches on consoles their mp battles are small and boring.

    Trying to figure how to get rift setup on bf4, it works pretty good on warbirds. that was neat!

    PC's aren't, and will never be (in the near future), at risk of being overtaken. There are just way too many uses for PCs that consoles cannot provide (and will not be able to provide) for awhile.

    Convergence will happen, just not yet :ugeek:

    If one weighs the equation by the bulk of the center of the bell curve, ie 'middle of the herd' (dirty console peasant), then consoles may be the way to go,to not have expensive PC duplicates. To travel in gangs and packs, rubber stamping their reflections all over themselves and others.. in an act of minimal ambulatory comforting masturbation... all while not understanding that this is their own 'way'.

    But PC, infinitely mutable across time, space, and especially money, will remain The Glorious Computing Master Race.
