    On an Xbox360, yes. On a Wii, maybe. On a PS3, no.

    Huxley sure as hell looks fun. As long as they make it so the PC players dont completely demolish the x360 players. and yeah Phantasy Star Universe is quite fun.

    Xbox360 and PS3 yes, but Wii no. To play a MMO on a Wii would require a controller (like the VC one) and an additional keyboard of some form. That would add up to a lot of additional costs without even mentioning the a large memory card for the character data (but most people would have those).

    Right now I am trying to decide if I want to get a xbox360 right now for AoC actually. Otherwise I would have to upgrade my video card and then might as well get everything setup for Vista...yadda yadda...might as well buy a new computer in the end. Personally I won't be buying a computer for a few months after Vista at least so I know what issues components have with the OS.

    I would play an MMORPG on the PS3. I played FFXI on the PS2 and it was pretty fun for awhile.

    I dont see what the big deal is, there are already MMO's on consoles. Phantasy Star Universe on the 360 and PC, and FFXI on the PS2, PC and 360. As in Age of Conan's case, PC and 360 players will be on different servers.

    Because Pyrofury is a Sony hater, so he will grab every chance to put PS in a bad daylight.



    I haven't heard of any Playstation 3 MMO, although I wouldn't be surprised if we see some SOE games on PS3, probably Star Wars Galaxies. Ofcourse, on the original playstation 2, there was Everquest Online adventures and Final Fantasy XI ) on Xbox360 the only mmorpg is Final Fantasy XI, and comming up are Huxley and ofcourse Age of Conan. Wii and Ps3 have yet to announce any MMORPG's. don't expect any MMORPG's on the Wii, but on PS3 its very likely.

    IMO, Nintendo has never really been that big on online gaming, what with a gimped online system for the GC and all. I don't know about the PS3, but I think MMO's would be insanely fun on the 360.

    Until they give me a mouse and keyboard for the console, I'll keep my MMORPG gaming to the PC, thanks.

    So you have replaced your PC with a PS2? Get with the times before you make such a silly statement. Actually if you want to go back far enough SNES had mice and keyboards also, Famicons only had fully supported keyboards.

    Alright, how many people do you know that have a mouse/keyboard for their 360/PS3? Can I walk in to my local Wal-Mart or Target and buy one?

    Also, even if they did give me a Mouse and Keyboard, I never said I'd replace my PC, or even stop gaming on the PC.

    Edit: Because it sounded harsher than I meant.

    My reply was harsher than it should have been also. The point was that consoles are capable of playing MMORPGs and often better than if they are designed for the average computer. People just have a stigma behind consoles and their ability to play things traditionally on a computer. It is not a technology issue but a perception issue.

    that answer wasn't really totally predictable......was it?
