Why would any one want to play a mmo on a console?

 My console doesn't run into those problems for years.  Not to mention then I get to play a MMO on my big screen while kicked back on my very comfy bed with the frame that goes up to put you in more of a sitting postion.....you can't beat that.

Well for me... my keyboard is plug in threw the UPS and as well as my Mouse. And the Xbox 360 does have 2 UPS Ports ...i havent try'd it yet but my guess is that if i plugged them in it would work fine? ...Because if you ask me ... insted of going out and buyin all this hardware for my computer and insted just buy the game..no downloading time..just plug and play and be able to set up my keybord and mouse..well i would be just happy with that. Plus for everone who so against Console MMO's....it would be just like facing someone on the computer because they are using a mouse and a keyboard.

Here is the problem.  You are limited by your console, not just by graphics, speed, memory, so forth, but just by lack of every quality a computer has.  The game would have to be dumbed down to meet the requirements of a 360, which now is nothing but a little laptop with a controller attachment. 

A guy playing from a 360 in a group would be like your retarded, slow friend that you have to wait for when going out somewhere.

If they do let consoles play in games, you'd be on a totally different server from the rest of the real game and only play with other 360'ers.  That'd be fine by me, but I'd rather the team put their effort into the actual PC game than to worry about you few 360 guys.

And whoever said the PC is dead, well its not.  We just have this ass called Bill Gates that wants to Monopolize everything that has to do with PC's, its the reason why MAC can't run games...because Gates owns every software to run them and no one wants to take the hard route and make a new system for MAC.

Personally I think Windows bites the big one and VISTA I'll never own....Hopefully someone will free us from Gates.  The man that sends spyware through his own WIndows updates to make sure your doing what your told.

But as far as computers, there is no limit to what they can do right now.  Not even comparable to a console.

Have you seen modern consoles?

Xbox 360 is a $2,000 gaming computer for less then $400

PS3 is about the same.

Yes, they can't do many of the things PC's do, but for gaming, HELLO they are built for gaming.

I think somebody has a case of the "it's cool to be agaist the MAN" syndrome.

 The xbox 360 is fully capable of useing a keyboard and a mouse just like a PC OMG!

 My xbox 360 is more powerful then my current PC which has hadled the beta test for several of the recently upcomming MMO's.

 And FFXI has PC players on the same server as PS2 <yes, the out dated generation of console> players. And the play together just fine. I had FFXI on PC and PS2 useing the same accounts, and people I grouped with could not tell you which system I was on.

 And few Xbox 360 owners? You are talking millions of them.

Welli have both a 360 and a gaming PC but  i use the  360 more for gaming.On the subject of ported games what about Assassins Creed,Gears of War which have been ported from the 360 to PC.The fact is console are catching the PC's up when it comes to gaming and with AOC on it's way , the gap is closing even more

While PC have alot more features than consoles,the debate is really about games, not which system can run Phototshop or microsoft Office.Although the PC is better for RTS and MMO's right now the gap is closing

 Here is your typical pulling an answer out of your butt without actually reading anything.

7.1 million are subscribed to xbox live as of August 2007 and that was before the release of Halo

IGN also lists WAR under the 360 and PS3 sections so I'm guessing Mythic has said something about thinking of porting it over.

I wouldn't mind playing with a PS3 or 360 player since they'll probably use keyboard/mouse. Unless the systems under perform causing lag of some sort that affects game play, I don't see a problem for MMOs on consoles.
