Top 5 Reasons Console MMOs Will Always Fail

March 25, 2010 in Top List comments 2

This is a list of the top 5 reasons console MMOs will always fail, from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com - explaining how when an MMO gets on a game console it just doesn't have the gusto or staying-power that they do on the PC.

These days there aren’t many game experiences that you can’t get on either a console or a PC. The only thing that hasn’t managed to cross system lines up until now is the MMO genre. It’s been attempted once or twice, most notably with Final Fantasy 11, but it has never caught-fire and become hugely successful – as it is on the PC side of things. There is millions of dollars in the MMO genre and developers everywhere are scrambling to figure out a way to create the first big-time MMO for the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. To be honest, I can’t see it ever working in the console space as things stand now, and here are the top 5 reasons why.

    What the hell is this article talking about? FFXI is a clear example of a fairly successful MMO on consoles. Hell, the game was made for the PS2 initially, and only got a PC/360 release later on. One of the best things about FFXI is the fact that all players, regardless of what "region" they live in or what console they prefer to use, play on the same servers. This article is a load of crap.
