Is Nintendo best suited to making a console MMO?

You must have checked it long time ago because WoW has voice chat for quite a while. In the days when WoW had no voice chat people were still communiting by voice using 3rd party software like Ventrillo.

However a console MMO really NEEDS voice chat compared to a PC MMO where you can go without because you know ... last time I checked consoles had no keyboard.

And WoW being surpassed by a MMO not developed by Blizzard has less chances of happening than PS3 passing Wii in sales, which I find impossible :)

 Last I checked all consoles supported keyboards. There would be no need for voice chat so long as keyboards were supported. Also, there are plenty of developers who are bringing their A game to the MMO market, Never ever assume that one of them can't dethrone WoW as the top dog. Eventually everyone will get few up with the non-fixable issues in WoW and move to the next big thing. I couldn't even really tell you what those issues are now, but it will seems clear as day after the next big thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was true 10 years ago..

These days noone doing any kind of raiding would ever consider doing so without voice chat.

When a guild gets created it gets a ventrilo server before it even gets a web site most of the time...

 

Anyway I'm sure some day something will dethrone WoW. All I'm saying is that I doubt it will be on a console.

WoW rocks because players have rewritten any single feature of the game they don't like... You can't do that on a console...

This is my UI, pretty much everything you see on it aside from the chat box at the bottom doesn't ship with Wow.( I know can't see much, stupid resize...)

It's all developped by the modding community..
