Are MMOs Headed to Consoles?

BioWare's Ray Muzyka: "I think there's a huge market on PC. It's not a simple matter to get onto console [due to economics and manufacturer fees]. It's a challenge that can be overcome, but you've got to pick and choose your battles."

Cryptic's Jack Emmert: "I just think it's absolutely ridiculous to think that MMOs aren't going to migrate [to consoles]. I'd like to discourage everyone here, especially Blizzard, from doing that. It's very hard."

Blizzard's Rob Pardo: "Of course there's going to be MMOs on consoles.. The way we approach things is we decide what kind of game we want to make.. The types of MMOS that are out there right now work much better on PC.. Decide yourself what the game is you want to make and make sure you pick the system it will be most fun on."
