Why doesnt Blizzard Entertainment work with gaming consoles? I would love to have World of Warcraft on my PS3

I wasnt saying move from PC to gaming consoles! Add gaming console format to include console users. Would that not increase user sales??

Console Gamers dont = PC Gamers
Games like world of warcraft need:
-Hardware upgradability
-Keyboards for non microphone headset communication
-Increadible internet capabilities
-Console gamers would be at a SEVERE disadvantage because PC gaming controls are far superior in gameplay. Keyboards and mice allow pinpoint accuacy, hotkeys and combos you could never generate with a joystick.
-PC's easily conect to TV's as monitors today, so you can essentially play it on TV if you really dont want to be at a desk, so no reason to expand to console.
Its just not smart. Everquest tried it and it was a dissapointment, as we all knew it would be.
Sorry!
hope that helps

Yes like the original answerers, most people who enjoy mmorpg type games are computer players aka "Hermits." I am not trying to be offensive to anyone it's just a funny term. Blizzard has already tried to bring their their games to the console but that didn't work out too well for them. A la Starcraft Ghost and Starcraft 64.
Besides, I would rather they start working on a new Warcraft or Starcraft than bring WoW to ps3 or 360.

Most the peeps that get into MMORPGs like computers b/c they can constantly upgrade the comp. where as you cant upgrade the console. So therefore they have a larger base user group on Comps. and plus the effort to turn WoW into a console game would prob not be worth it considering the size of the game and the patches.

Why on earth would they move it to a console when they have 8 million-plus players on computers?

I agree with the first answer. All of the geeks, dweebs, and nerds can unite playing it on the PC right now. If they move it to the consoles, they will split them all up.
