Do they really think that the addition of a keyboard & mouse would stop people buying consoles? They give their audience very little credit indeed.

Mouses and Keyboards both work with the PS3. The issue is that no one codes games in which you can use them.

As for console Simulations Gran turismo counts, especially if you get the steering wheel and pedals. Plus you have ARMA II supposedly making a console appearance along with Operation Flaspoint Dragon Rising.
Plus there was one for the original Xbox that simulated a battle mech, called steel battalion, which used its own controller with joysticks, pedals, and a lot of buttons.

Here's a picture of the controller.
