Why?  It's not like the network should care if you're using a PC, a 
console, or even a PDA.  A packet's a packet.  End-user hardware doesn't 
enter into the equation here.

Again, why?  Yes, there would probably be a segregation of the groups, but 
I suspect that it'd be more social than anything else.

There are people who are as skilled with a console controller as those who 
are skilled with a PC style keyboard & mouse.  Furthermore, some consoles 
have allowed you to use a keyboard & mouse with them as well.   I really 
don't think you'll see this segregation because of hardware or 
technological reasons.
