not really a surprise, but i got this off gamespy and i thought it was rather cool.

Microsoft planned a service to connect Xbox Live and Windows gamers in epic console versus PC deathmatches... that is until PC gamers swept the floor with 360 players in a test run of the project.

In a blog post, Voodoo PC founder and CTO of HP's gaming business Rahul Sood reveals Microsoft had grand ambitions to merge console and PC online gaming, but the project was ultimately killed due to the lopsided test run results.


Sood writes: "I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their console controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse."

"The console players got destroyed every time," he continued. "So much so that it would be embarrassing to the Xbox team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative."

Sood goes on to state that he's disappointed the project was canceled as it might have pushed developers and gamers alike to pay more attention to PC gaming.

It's just common sense. Do you drive better with a steering wheel or with keys? Yep, so then what would be better for pointing quickly?
