Microsoft have been running an innitiative; pitting console and pc gamers against each other in the same games. This was carried out on their respective systems - using their usual peripherals.

I'm sure this took some effort on Microsoft's behalf to be able to make the games cross platform playable.

They allegedly took the best console gamers and average pc gamers for this, I suppose you could say "experiment". This was soon stopped after the pc gamers repeatedly smashed the console gamers, probably because this didn't quite go the way Microsoft hoped - as you can imagine they were most likely trying to boost the Xbox 360's popularity and attract more competitive gamers to the Xbox.

The result of this may have not come as such a shock to you, as it is pretty wide known knowledge that keyboards and mice give you more freedom and control over that of a console controller.
