C&C 3 Demo On Xbox 360

The C&C 3: Tiberium Wars demo is out on the Xbox 360 and I think they have done a pretty good job at mapping the controls to the console controller. The game is completely playable, however, why don't Microsoft just release an official mouse and keyboard converter for the console? This is what the game is made for. While they want the console players to compete with Windows players online they don't want it to happen on a level playing field. The current aftermarket mouse and keyboard converter for the console is not too good. The games haven't been programed from the ground up to incorporate the use of the mouse and, as a result, suffer from controller lag in game.

Some may consider the Xbox 360 to be the poor man's computer, so, why don't Microsoft come to the party and just release a mouse and keyboard for it? At least, to give gamers the choice of which peripheral they would prefer to use for the console. Also, this would broaden the appeal for game developers to release a larger number of games for the console. Some games just don't feature very well with a controller.

I personally don't mind using the controller. It is more comfortable to use than a mouse and keyboard, however, doesn't have the twitchy responsiveness of the mouse and keyboard.
