As a directly affected use case, gaming consoles will not be able to make use of pointer events without proprietary hacks or extensions. 93213 1 art.barstow 2013-09-10 16:58:45 +0000 The Pointer Events WG discussed this bug on 10-Sep-2013 and the minutes from that discussion are <http://www.w3.org/2013/09/10-pointerevents-minutes.html#item05>. 93238 2 art.barstow 2013-09-11 11:08:25 +0000 Moving this to WebApps' UI Events spec per resolution of the Pointer Events WG (PEWG) on 10-Sep-2013 (URI below).
