Mmo's have yet to even make a dent in the console market they just aren't that marketable to people that buy consoles. The only MMO I have seen of recent that has the potential to change this is APB for PC and xbox 360. “I think by having a stable platform where every customer has an online capable box is a huge, huge potential advantage in building an MMO because you’ve already got an online user base,”

Mmo’s have yet to even make a dent in the console market they just aren’t that marketable to people that buy consoles. The only MMO I have seen of recent that has the potential to change this is APB for PC and xbox 360.

You being president of SONY Online Entertainment, and all. There'd be something wrong if you WERE'NT doing PS3 versions. Where do they get these people from? “If you look at The Agency, our DC universe MMO, and even our Free Realms title, we’re doing PS3 versions of all of those games.”

Also the console online capabilities aren't exactly a secret. Yeah, I thought it was rather weird, too.

How many PCs out there AREN'T online-capable? And I'd have thought more PC owners use their computer to go online than console owners do with theirs. Odd. Eh?
