CVG talks to J. Allard... no keyboard
Computer and Video Games talked to J. Allard, GM of Xbox development, at ECTS yesterday, and got some details about the Xbox controller:
“I can tell you that there will be no more buttons than on the PlayStation controller [8]. We think that’s pretty much the optimum number of inputs most people can deal with in a console controller.
“Also, we really liked the double slot idea from the Dreamcast controller. In the Xbox handset there is a slot for a memory card and a slot for a voice system, so you can wear a microphone and ear-piece while you play. We don’t want to be messing around with keyboards when it comes to consoles.”
Several people have mailed us recently, asking about the possibility of a keyboard being included, or available... this information would suggest it's not. Link first seen at MSXbox... thanks to ryu for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:32:33 UTC)
