not enough keys to bind all the macros and you'd die in pvp way too often. it'd have to be completely redesigned just for consoles and they don't give a 2 rat's ass about consoles so it won't happen.

They don't care about 50 million consoles sitting in peoples homes , seriously ? .  Stop thinking like a PC gamer and look at the situation from a more business perspective , even if it takes a complete redesign of the PC Version ( which it likely won't)  the potential revenue that Blizzard stand to gain from an MMORPG on the PS3/360 could be massive . Maybe they aren't too concerned about expanding into new terriotories right now but like any multi-national tyrant they will have to enter and compete in existing markets , create new ones , the shareholders expect it and will start challenging the board of directors if they don't.

Theres a risk that a competiting MMO will develop on console(s) and grow to compete with WoW head to head. Half of the reason why they are successful is because they are the ONLY big MMO player out there. If there was another one even half as big it would be a threat to their userbase/revenues because MMO games run on a network effect but if another network is even half the size then other factors like cost, content, gameplay come into it and they wouldn't get such a free pass.
