when i played World of Warcraft and Guild Wars on the PC I didn't touch any other video games nor did i care to

I think this is the reason we don't see titles like Guild Wars with its Free Online and Massive Multiplayer like RPG gamestyle on consoles is that if they are actually well made and addicting nobody will pick up another game = less sales for other games on the console

MMO's = ultimate replayability ....people get hooked and don't for a few months or even years look at any other game once they get it

well age of conan takes a few gigs to install. then add updates. i dont know how many consoles players will like that.

thats just an example of one game. lastly i would say that there are mmos for consoles and there have been for a while. phantasy star online, final fantasy online and everquest to name some.

You have a point there. You know, It would be cool if Home had an mmorpg type section with adventures and all.... just a fanboy dream..

I think it's more because of the limited buttons, difficulty to type and other problems, rather than people being scared that their customers aren't going to get to play their rival's games.

Some people :/
