Will Battlefield 2042 be playable with a mouse and keyboard on Box series S

@QuinReisenso doing the maths...

Chronus sold 138k emulators. Assume Xim and Titan sell roughly the same, thats 414k units. Let's round that up to 500k units.
BFV sold <8M units and, guessing Consoles account for 75% of those sales, we get 5.5M units.
But emulator players are not all playing BFV. A quick search shows that BFV is ranked 14th in popular FPS. Let's be generous and say 25% of these people are playing BFV i.e. 125K emulator owners are playing BFV on consoles.
125K/5.5M = 2.3% of the BFV player population are using Xim/Chronus/Titan.

The PUBG Community manager (RoboDanjal) stated in a Twitter post in 2018 that the usage of 3rd party devices was “statistically very low”. In my world, that means <5%. So, I’m guessing that most people would be lucky (or not) to encounter 1 user of an emulator (including Scuff controllers) in any round.

I am not suggesting it is not a problem, I am suggesting it is not as big a problem as people think.

@Lancelot_du_LacTrue.. I was doing some light math in my head as well. However when you have a game that supports 150 players in an instance such as Warzone or Battlefield, even 1-2% means that you're more than likely to encounter cheaters in every match. Not saying they all have the suped up scripts but it only takes one to ruin the experience for hundreds of legitimate players.

If this was a program being released with a 1-2٪ possibility of failure to load.  It would never be released and no one would buy it.  It would drastically hurt their sales if they openly admitted that their application is compromised.

@Lancelot_du_LacPart of the issue is not knowing.....

Of course there are 'good' players out there and being beaten by them just has to be sucked up and that's fine.

But then there are the times when you don't know or worse, know that you have only been beaten by a superior input device.

There are too many players that will do anything to get an edge over others because they can't improve with 'just a controller'.

Too many players worship at the alter of the Almighty KD and other stats that they forget that above all else, gaming should be fun and fun for everyone.

Going are the days where a group of like minded people can jump on a console, have a drink and a laugh because every game is becoming a tryhard sweat fest. And these people are convincing DICE to make it more so.

Look at the hard core lite approach of BFV and constant whinging about KB&M, why can't people just have fun these days?
