I'm already Gaming Master Race all the way - I'd be insulted to be called anything else... :tongueout:
Of course companies want to (need to) make money. But in this arena, its just plain daft. Look at the below....

So we have the G920 that suits both XBox One and PC and retails at £330. We also have the G29 beneath that supports both the PC (yet strangely doesn't mention that) and the PS3/PS4 for guess what..... another £330. Bar a few button changes, they are the same fecking wheel!
So you have Master Race gamer who can pickup either, because his PC doesn't give a flying f**k what's connected to it - so long as the manufacturer provides drivers for it. But in Console Land, your choice is fixed.
Worse, it's not uncommon for people to own both consoles - or perhaps live with a flat-mate or sibling with the other console. You'd have to be a very special case indeed to fork out £660 for two virtually identical bits of hardware - simply because one will purely work with the XBox and the other with Mr. Sony.
"I really do love my G29 when playing Gran Turismo. But I have to buy the same kit again to play Forza on the XBox One? And detach it from it's base. And swap over an identical set of pedals?" Who's going to do that???
Want little perks like the rev/shift gauge on your XBox games? Tough s**t. We'll delete them off your peasant-spec-yet-same-priced G920.
There's taking the piss, then there's blatantly rubbing your nose in it.
