That's all that needs to be said

Good idea don't bother to waste your time to try to put it on consoles especially when this game is very very successful on it's own native platform the PC =)

A herculean effort is an understatement of the century about porting WoW to consoles. For starters, there are game updates almost every single week for the game, some small, some large.

How would they integrate those things into the game? Secondly, what about expansion packs? Those are one of the main reasons why people bought WoW lately, myself included in that!

It's just impossible to make WoW for consoles, unless you are going to install the game to the hard drive of the 360 or PS3.

Consoles need their OWN MMORPG...non-persistent stuff is fine, and even VERY beneficial to gaming, but please leave my WOW alone!

Consoles will be short one less shitty game.

if you think the whining on the forums is bad now, wait till console kiddies get on there. Glad its not going to consoles, a lot of currently playing people suck at playing WoW

Some games are easier to play on a gaming system (like Madden Football)... and some are more beneficial to play on a PC. World of Warcraft is one of those that was designed to be played on a PC. I am not even sure how they could easily incorporate all the different attacks and movement to a joystick.

Not a WOW player myself, well was a while back, but it is nice to see a developer draw the line and say this was made for the PC and thats where it stays. One of the worst things I have ever seen in the gaming industry is when the port things over. It just never seems to totally work, and you always lose something.

Lets forget about the improbability of the software, graphics and updates that will make it nigh impossible for a console, anyone who has played WoW for a significant period of time would probably agree that it would be nearly impossible to play it on a console in terms of interaction. The game revolves around communication (so first thing you buy a headset with the game mostly solved i guess) second you need to be able to at any specific point in time instantly cast or use one of possibly 10 abilities while moving often while using other abilities briefly after. Pressing a game pad while doing all that would be at best difficult and unresponsive compared to the control of a keyboard. Finally organising the UI so that it would be up to a raiding standard, would require even more effort, not impossible again, but all this to an avid wow fan would make them go back t o their pc or if they bought it on a console, give up and install it instead on the pc.

Finally, they couldnt make money on the damn thing, because they would have to port it (lots of money spent) and then never recover that cost because chances are they wont be selling new copies of the game specific to the cosole, most people will just log into their existing wow accounts. meaning that the game would be installed in their console without them paying a cent to recover the cost of the port. then when they get serious, without spending any money can walk back to their pc and play it again. Its not the install that costs money, its the account.

Further enquiries into this topic will probably only yield the same response for those reasons.
