It has been long a rumor that Blizzard will bring WOW to xbox 360,however,MCV come out a message that not any plans in terms of xbox 360 was under Blizzard¡®s consideration thus far.

With Square-Enix porting current MMO Final Fantasy XI to 360, many believed that the hugely popular World of Warcraft, which currently boasts 5.5 million subscribers, was a certainty for Microsoft?s machine.

?We do not have any plans to take WoW to Xbox 360,? Blizzard COO Paul Sams told MCV. ?WoW is built as a PC gaming experience. Porting PC games to console often compromises games, and we?d never allow the WoW gameplay experience to suffer.

?Also, it?s important to us that the entire player base is? able to play together. Microsoft?s Xbox Live architecture is very protected from all sorts of outside influence, so shared play between 360 and PC owners would be very tough. We wouldn?t even consider WoW for 360 unless we could overcome that hurdle.?

However, there is still some hope for console MMO fans, with Sams adding: ?I wouldn?t say we have no console plans. Nothing is in place at the moment, but we may be looking at something along those lines in the future.?

Sams also explained that he expects plenty of MMOs to eventually appear on consoles, though developers will have to overcome the difficulties presented by the use of a joypad instead of a keyboard.
