Will the Xbox One have a steering wheel for the driving games?

Doubting but hopeful

There are currently two wheels available for the Xbox One from Thrustmaster:

- Ferrari 458 Spider (Force Feedback via bungie cord linear resistance) (www.thrustmaster.com/.../tx-racing-wheel-ferrari-458-italia-edition)

-Ferrari 458 TX (Force Feedback via brushless motors) (www.thrustmaster.com/.../tx-racing-wheel-ferrari-458-italia-edition)

Mad Catz is also coming out with a wheel but who knows when they'll release it (originally at launch, then in Feb, then in June, now shipping in July) (store.madcatz.com/.../Mad-Catz-Pro-Racing-Force-Feedback-Wheel-and-Pedals-for-Xbox-One.html)

I can understand not wanting to spend a lot of money on a new setup. The TX is expensive (currently $350 on Amazon) but it's the best wheel I've played with. I actually just setup my old Fanatec CSR on Xbox 360 with FM4 the other night and wow did it feel
poor compared to the TX. The TX's feedback is MUCH stronger than the Fanatec and it's smooth as silk. I've played on Logitech G25 and G27 and they always felt "bumpy" to me. The Thrustmaster is strong and smooth and is the best wheel I've ever used.

It was amazing to run the P1 on Nurburgring last night using the TX. I highly recommend it if you're in the market for a wheel.

 

lmao @ "low low price..."

I love racing. One of the main reasons I don't do racing/driving games much, if at all, is because of the lack of ability to get the response I want from a standard controller. The other reason is because of the ridiculous price of a wheel / pedal setup.
Maybe if my gaming budget were a little more flexible it wouldn't be so bad, but there's no way I'm spending almost the price of my console (actually if I bought a X1 now it would be the price of the console) just for a d*** 'controller'.
