thsoundman sends in a blog post from Rahul Sood, CTO of HP's gaming business, who claims there was once a project in development at Microsoft to let Xbox users compete against PC users playing the same game. According to Sood, the project was killed because the console players kept getting destroyed by their PC counterparts. He wrote, "Those of us who have been in the gaming business for over a decade know the real deal. You simply don't get the same level of detail or control as you do with a PC over a console. It's a real shame that Microsoft killed this mdash; because had they kept it alive it might have actually increased the desire of game developers and gamers alike to continue developing and playing rich experiences on the PC, which would trickle down to the console as it has in the past."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F07%2F23%2F2127253%2FPC-Gamers-Too-Good-For-Consoles-Gamers" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=PC+Gamers+Too+Good+For+Consoles+Gamers%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F9ZR88o" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/07/23/2127253/PC-Gamers-Too-Good-For-Consoles-Gamers?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1730536amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframe pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P1XqOfK9qM7X0MXiaRYl73hKWyc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/msyM1mmH3k4" height="1" width="1"/
