DC Universe Online

That is completely true, but at the same time a good amount of the 15 dollars you pay goes directly for upkeep, keeping servers lag free, paying developers so they can expand on the game, paying the technicians to fix servers when they catch fire. There was a really nice pie chart portraying this and I have been trying to find it to no avail. I also wasn't aware that MAG was an MMO.

Part of the problem of MMO's not taking off is the fact that MMO's are very expansive, and RPG's specifically are focused mostly on dozens upon dozens of spells, how do you control that quickly and efficiently with a controller. But that's a minor point to the fact that up until now only the PC had a keyboard. Without a keyboard communication is much more difficult, typed words are neutral in every way (some people just don't wanna stand there talking at a Monitor/TV set, I've always felt stupid on talking on Vent). Until these issues are fixed I really don't see any major breakthrough in the MMO console business. Unless they dumb down the games themselves, the way they dumbed down FPSes, and then port them over to the consoles.

 

P.S. Most PC owners also own a console, I don't know where you got that from but it's just a fabrication.
