No, let's keep MMOs on PCs. There just seems to be too many issues with porting them to consoles. If it wasn't an issue, Blizzard would have already had WOW on them by now. They were able to make the game available for Mac users, which is no small feat. You have to ask yourself, why the biggest MMO in the business that is making the most money and isn't exactly the most graphically challenging for systems is able to port the game for MAC users, but not consoles.
I just can't stand third person games on the pc, because of the crappy controls, i want to use a gamepad for that, and to use a gamepad on a pc when nothing is made for it or supporting it is just a joke.. the only games that works for that is console games that are ported to pc, i guess games like assassins creed 2 would work good with a gamepad on pc.
first person games on the other hands is better on pc, with a keyboard and mouse.. but most mmos arent first person!
They just need to cut out the RTS style with back camera, and make it a simulation instead.. cant be to hard!

That doesn't make any sense, Blizzard hasn't released any games on the current consoles, ever. In fact, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they've developed a game for consoles since the SNES. Its not that they couldn't port it to consoles, they just didn't. Games will be releasing on consoles coming up this next year with 3 from SOE and 1 from SE.
Porting to a MAC is nothing like porting to a console, and Blizzard has thought about it. MMOs will not stay on PC only, the market is just too big on consoles to keep one of the largest gaming genres on PC only.
I don't know how often I have this conversation on multiple forums but it appears that every time this issue comes up its a die hard rivalry between keeping games on PC over Console and it really shouldn't be.
