Way back in 2010, for instance, Voodoo PC founder Rahul Sood claimed that Microsoft decided against enabling crossplay between PC and Xbox 360 consoles after testing found that " console players got destroyed (opens in new tab)" whenever they faced off against someone on PC. Conventional wisdom dictates that the speed and precision of a mouse makes it inherently superior to controllers when it comes to shooters.
