World of Warcraft should go console

Q u o t e:
Ok so this is just to get and have WOW go to console game like ps3 and so on and ur opinion


Plz note I am NOT a blizzard employee
I am only trying to get blizzard to try and go console so it's not just the average and boring mmo for computer

This has been talked about in various interviews in the past and the answer continues to be that we have no plans to do this. The primary reason being that World of Warcraft was designed as a PC game, so the functionality, controls, and UI are all focused on what a PC can bring to the table.

To use a quote that is not mine, it's a square peg and a round hole for this game.

Q u o t e:


All the current consoles have keyboard peripherals.

Sure, but we also have a strong community when it comes to something like add-ons and PTR testing which works well on a PC, not sure how well these would go on consoles. It also sounds like a bad path to force everybody to get a keyboard and mouse to play the game.

Q u o t e:


The newer consoles have hard drive space so that games can have addons and updates. This would lead to being able to get a set hardware setup working and not have wierd issues that come up with all the variety available in PCs. Console would be a great addition, but only if it is an addition and not a replacement. Also, the PS3 would probably run this game better than my PC. =P

Also remember that World of Warcraft would be running on the console you got 5 years ago now, it's much more common to update a PC versus a console. I understand that they have hard drives, but how many players program add-ons to work for consoles? While I'm not a programmer I'm pretty sure things don't port over easily so you would be looking at more delays across the board on launching things from the PTR to any patches. I'm not looking for answers here, just throwing out there that the difficulty and issues stack up very quickly.
