Consoles The Future Of MMO's?

lord monkey | October 07, 2008 | Industry News | PC Playstation 3 Company

Yea, think about that for a minute. Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley stated that he believes that consoles are the future of MMO games.

We see that marketing coming; we think it's there now, so we want to get a good market share there. I would say that we would be one of the early adopters on [bringing MMOs to consoles], and we plan on becoming one of the dominant players in the MMO space on consoles...
I think what's going to happen is you're going to see a whole new generation of players that have been playing 'Resistance' now start getting introduced to MMOs. I think it's going to be a cool way for them to experience games that have been on the PC for a while, but have a totally different kind of gameplay on the console.

_{I agree to an extent. I feel consoles can offer new experiences with MMO's. That can't be found on the PC, and vice versa.
I know the Agency is off the radar so to speak but its looking to be a great game. I also wish WoW was available for consoles cause I don't know if my PC has the minimum requirements for it. And same for Runescape, since Im not comfortable with using the keyboard for playing games. Thats why games like Oblivion are kickass on the consoles imo.}
