We might not see WoW for the consoles in the near future, but it seems we might see it in the not-so-distant future. Gamesindustry.biz is seen quoting:
"Consoles are becoming sophisticated PCs which sit in the living room... We'll have to see how all this develops. Maybe in five years you won't need a console because you'll have one PC which delivers content all over your house."
Ben Bassat confirmed that Blizzard has no plans to bring hugely popular MMORPG World of Warcraft to consoles - but did say that the company is keeping a close eye on the next-gen machines, particularly with regard to the online space.
"Online console gaming is still in its very early stages, and it needs to be developed further to provide opportunities of a scale which will be interesting to us," he explained.
"So when we come to develop a new game we will look at the kind of opportunities that exist out there and what we want to develop, and if it could be interesting on console. We should remember that a 360 is just a sophisticated PC."
