  Where is the keyboard/mouse support they promised for 360/PS3

  Last year before the 360 came out MS stated that keyboard/mouse support would be integral to the 360.  So its been out for 6 months, and we are at another E3 and NO upcoming FPS or game is saying they have made profiles for input devices other than a gamepad.  This is the ONLY thing keeping me away from fully going over to a console for all my gaming.  There are people out there very proficient with the gamepad for FPS but certainly not me.
  
  The PS3 also stated they would support keyboard/mouse.  Same thing from them and their games.
  
  Now I realize they ARE supported, just only for navigation of Xbox Live or other things but gaming should have been on top of devs minds.  I also realize that an "auto-aim" type machination does not work well in multi-player environments when your pitted in a game vs gamepad players.  There would be an unfair advantage.  Plus without full on mouse style looks, they don't have to worry about running the game at full 60fps, they can make it run at 30-40 and make it appear smooth.
  
  This is just a rant about the fact that I still have to shell out money to upgrade a system that is bloated with uselessness in anything other than gaming.  I think most people who have 2000+ computers would agree, if they didn't game they wouldn't need that much power.  You don't need that much for h.264 playback, look at the mac minis.
