| Mr Khan said: I wouldn't expect him to understand the need to keep consoles as an entity distinct from the PC. I don't really understand what he means by "there's no world of warcraft on consoles." Whether you approach WoW from a "social phenomenon" perspective (e.g., something that's really popular), or from a "social environment" perspective, consoles can do both, but at the same time can provide more. While consoles can't provide the whole PC experience, they can do different things, and yet provide things that are similar enough to the PC experience And he would be old enough to remember the Atari 2600, and a world of console gaming without licensing. Hmm... |
I think he was being fairly literal, that World of Warcraft was never ported to consoles ... Which is mostly a result of the rules surrounding online gaming on consoles (in particular the PS3 and XBox 360) make it difficult to provide a game like that on consoles.
