| Ssyn said: Don't compare WoW to any other MMO, it simply can't be compared no MMO for at least a decade (other than a blizz MMO) will reach 10million subs. Secondly 5$ a month is NOT enough to support even 1 MMO and you expect multiple on the 360 soon? The 5$ a month would be burned up instantly and M$ would have to subsidize it. Secondly I can't see console players wanting MMOs, in most MMOs you communicate via keyboard; which doesn't happen much on XBL and voice chat wouldn't work unless you had a preformed guild/group but how do you form those if communication is barely present? To top it all off Microsoft would have a new competition, Blizzard and they already have had a new MMO in the works for 2 years now to keep the WoW juggernaut subs with them. |
To your first point, WoW can be compared to all of the MMO's as in business terms it is known as a Benchmark. Its like how most car manufacturers benchmarked Toyota back in the early 1960's. Many of them now have surpassed Toyota's quality assurance levels.
Secondly, MS already has many MMO's in development as stated in the thread. I dont no what you mean when you say not to expect them when they are already in development.
Lastly, I am sure that MS can determine a way to communicate in game. This is where innovation comes in to play, and the reason why I stated in my thread continue to innovate the online space.
Competition is a good thing sir as without it corporations would monolopolize the market. Take Standard Oil from the early 1900's, look at what they did.
