How can you not see that native support would destroy the game? You have zero chance with a controller vs native M&K. I use mouse on PC...if it handled like it does on PC on the PS4 I woukd faceroll every match vs controller users.
Faster to turn, faster to stop, easier to slide/strafe and shoot. More accurate and faster on target. Just no competition.
PC users buy console to get away from the unlevel hack fest that is PC...then immediately want to unlevel the field. No thanks.

wow, another pc gamer

well, if it was exactly the same on console as on pc, then you would be in luck. you could transition to a hack free environment and only sacrifice ultimate pc visuals while maintaining your gaming perifials and performance.

that's just the reality of the situation. MnK is better for this game and many other shooters. that's why console manufacturers are laying the grounds for it.i don't know if you noticed but shooters are bread and butteriin the console space. delivering the best possible shooter experience is what they are going for and as everyone keeps saying, playing with a mouse and keyboard is better than using a controller

plus if you come to console, in the next few years you will see games that were previously exclusive to pc come to console thanks to native mouse and keyboard support.

I'm gonna give you a look into the future of console gaming. I have a mild clairvoyant sight to these things: it isn't gonna be the shooters that put a mouse and keyboard in front of millions of console gamers, it's gonna be the RTS and MMO's. when that happens, good luck keeping MnK out of your console shooters my pc gaming friend. unfortunately any game already in development and coming soon likely won't have the native support lest Uber popular like fortnite. do you know of any game that's "fortnite popular"?

You state that FPS is the bread and butter of console gaming (not sure that's even true) and then state it needs K&M because it's so superior...then please explain why currently the bread and butter is working? How is it if so many are crying out for this that literally every AAA paid shooter game (cod, bf, etc) console dominates the sales? It's already selling, why is it so broken?
I play both PC and PS4. There is no skill based matchmaking etc that will make this work, it would never ever be even. And you cannot have cross play etc without letting the PC cheaters in. It doesn't work that way .
This supposed move to M&K you are are seeing from your time machine has been predicted for years..just like the mmorpg/rts takeover, which is totally a dieing section of gaming anyway, what's the last great selling RTS? Warcraft at what, 10 years old? RTS do not sell. MMORPG doesn't sell all that well (new games) and I don't see the last successfully running one (wow) going console anytime soon. Other than wow you have what, STO and little else?
There is no great call from current console customers to get M&K. There is no huge untapped market that will switch to console if it happens. There is no way to implement it fairly without loosing most of your base unless you separate the user base into two groups, controller and mouse, which is bad (bf went to live service just to prevent that).
Just learn to use a controller. Is it harder? Yes. But it's EVEN. What difference does it make if Nascar runs races with restrictor plates so long as everyone had one?
