    pro - more players and ease of accessibility.

    con- i believe they said something about having limited updates they can push a month to a console, so the console version might actually slow down what we PC uses can have added to keep the versions the same.

    con - massive amount of work taking away from our live updates to convert it.

    con- MMO's and consoles dont mix well unless they are built with the console in mind. not sure how much fun it will be with a gamepad, especially things like chat.

    key board options and the like are available to consoles. However I do agree that MMOs in practice on consoles could be cumbersome

    Actually they tried again!
    With DCUO.

    Yup, that worked out reeeeaaaal well for SOE. :D

    Actually, didn't Cryptic attempt this with CO? I seem to remember them throwing in the towel on that idea just before it was released.

    pro's- none

    con's - mmo's don't need to be dumbed down anymore than they already are to work on any console

    Console gamers are far more aggressive than MMO players. Having both an XBox 360 and a PS3 I have to say, from experience, that PS3 gamers are more aggressive than 360 players.

    Do we really need an influx of aggression?

    My answer - Nope.
