Sony doesn't want you to play with your Xbox or Switch friends, I argued last June. We've known since 2016 that Sony is the only company standing in the way of buddies being able to team up across PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, since there's no technological limitation.
And though Sony has since been shown up by Microsoft and Nintendo, and though Sony enraged the Fortnite community, and though Fallout developer Bethesda has badmouthed Sony about cross-play and threatened to hold another game hostage, and even though PlayStation America CEO Shawn Layden suggested Sony might have actually gotten the message...
...today, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida reportedly told the press that his company generally doesn't believe in the idea of opening up the PlayStation to cross-platform multiplayer.
"On cross-platform, our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play. Fortnite, I believe, partnered with PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users, that's our belief," he said, according to The Independent.

I remember the time when Unreal Tournament got big, and I was so ignorant that I unironically suggested that it would be better to play with a joystick than a mouse and keyboard. I was laughed out of the room. Babby's first Deus Ex with mouse and keyboard was a revelation, if not a bitch to get used to. Many keys were fatfingered during that painful period.

It goes both ways. There was a GTA game where you had bodies in the back of a dump truck and you had to back up to a lake and dump them in. On the PC I had a hell of a time, either the bodies got dumped too far away or the truck fell into the lake.
Replayed a few years later on a Playstation, it was ez peazy. I even re-did it a few times because the difficulty of that was burned into my mind.
But in a multiplayer twitchfest yeah, I'll take the keyboard/mouse any day.

Console controls often have some form of auto-aim.
With the mouse, the games default sensitivity may be right for a different DPI mouse and require adjustment to have the intended difficulty. (the controls aren't force-standardized)
Though possibly that portion of the PC version wasn't play tested fully...
