KvP:
It would be fine if you could use controllers on the PC, but you can't.
Tom:
Oh well, market share

Usually the people who say it like they mean it are just PC fanboys. Console controllers present a much more streamlined and efficient way of executing in game commands.

That's... debatable till we all turn blue in the face and die of angry fanboyism (asphyxiation).
That said 3rd person games generally benefit from gamepads like Arkham Asylum and Prototype. That's why I have a pad for my PC. You can use a pad for the PC version supposedly, but it won't work well, the PC version uses a completely different targeting system optimised for keyboard + mouse.
Josefbugman:
I like the PC and my consoles, I just can't understand why people seem to have such a massive stick up their backside about what set of sparks and wiring you enjoy most.
Anyway, I am looking forward to the game, and whilst I know not everyone will enjoy it, I am glad that here at least we all seem to be able to have a civil conversation without resorting to murderous outrage and labryinthine conspiracy theories about EA.

I find it particularly suspect given that I felt compelled to adopt the supremely awkward claw method of holding a gamepad ages ago just to get around the whole "Can't properly use more than 2 buttons AND a stick per hand" problem. I do think pads are superior for many genres thanks to the sensitivity of sticks and the general virtue of being ad-hoc devices but at the same time there are also genres that I simply cannot imagine playing properly with a gamepad. In WoW, for example, I had in excess of 50+ commands mapped when you factored in alt, ctrl & spacebar modifiers and my 6 button mouse. Likewise Halo Wars featured some great problem solving on the part of the developers but at the same time the control setup can hardly be said to match what top Starcraft players are doing in terms of APM with a mouse & keyboard combo.
I guess what I'm tryiing to say here is don't be that guy with the blanket judgements on interfaces since it just kinda makes you sound like a tool.
