Xbox 360 or PS3 not because it has something against consoles but because of a square peg round hole thing Blizzards J Allen Brack said World of Warcraft is designed as a PC game Its designed to have a keyboard and a mouse So the controls and the control scheme that you have are very PC centric If you think about mapping those controls and all those different type of buttons that you have to a console without a keyboard for chatting its a very challenging proposition Lead game designer Tom Chilton added Its really not that we have anything against consoles Chilton said I mean we love console games also And Im sure there will be a successful MMO sometime on a console So it has nothing to do with that Its just more like a square peg round hole thing for our game It just wasnt designed with that in mind http://www.consolesearch.com/item/WII_90109/blizzard_we_dont_have_anything_against_consoles.html
