Anyone that owns multiple consoles (especially Guitar Hero and Rock Band players), would greatly appreciate being able to use a racing wheel, arcade stick, or guitar controller with any of their consoles.
I can understand a hardware maker wanting to keep the wireless controllers to themselves, but PLEASE start allowing third-party controller makers to make universal USB controllers.
