I actually saw this on campus last September. Forget about the IM stuff so a second and think of it as a peripheral that makes the controller more appealing to MMO gamers, developers, and publishers.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this, but it should be noted that microsoft said that any usb keyboard can be connected to the xbox 360 for instant messaging, not just the one they’ll sell that attaches to the controller. I don’t think their attachment will sell very well, i’d much rather have a full size keyboard then one of those pda thumb keyboards. You can get a wireless keyboard fairly cheaply, I don’t see much reason to buy their peripheral.
