Considering Both the 360 and PS2 versions of Final Fantasy 11 performed rediculously badly. Like amazingly badly in sales. It's no surprise that M$ doesnt care about an MMO like FF14 for the 360. I say stick your guns M$. Live is better for it.

PS2 FF11 = 150,000 Lifetime

360 FF11 = 220,000 Lifetime. And this on the most active played console online service.

 

Like I said this is a non issue as far as M$ are concerned. A keyboard is a must for MMORPG's.

You can use a keyboard with the PS2/PS3. The cheap USB ones work as well as the new Sony Keypad, not exactly new but it is slightly new.

I should rephrase, Keyboard mouse combo. Controller keyboard combo is hardly as fast. I think WOW would be impossible on controller. 

FF11 only worked because it was so slow. Played it for a bit, but was hugely dull.

Anyone my point was the sales for console of FF MMO was so poor it's not even worth M$ thinking about this let alone discussing it. over 90% of the long serving FF14 players will be on PC. And that will be less than  2 million anyway. 

M$ best interest would be to support a 360 only MMO which is built from the ground up only for 360. So it plays entirely to the strengths of the controller, headset and possibly Kinect abilities? 

If M$ thoght an MMO would sell anywhere near 1 mill on console then it would be worth it. But the best any has done is 220,000. 

Obviously M$ look smart when you see the sales figures.

I think the sales figures aren't too shabby for the game being 4-5 years old at that point.
