Why the consoles dont...

Allow users to mod the games?

I mean its aint rocket science just allow users make mods on the HDD and the game use them like a patch?

That and the M/K support why the hell they dont integrade that? Isnt giving options>>>>Anything else?

I can bet that the day that they do these two VERY simple things alot of people will switch to consoles completely...

Why dont take the console games modding out of the shadow of modchips and illegality? Dont they want to make more money?

And as for the whole FPS/RTS balance thing: Just make two separate servers for the controller and MK people.. 

PS3 should have advanced map editors now that it has m/k functionality.smokeydabear076

Nothing close to total conversions... 

i dont know why the dont.

but how does enabling gamers to mod games helping them making money?

Meh, I doubt the flow will become "strong". Just look at how XNA is doing in the 360.

The lack of mods is a reason, but far from a strong one. You must keep in mind that the majority of PC gamers are casuals that aren't even aware of modding. 

their is another problem, Mods mean less money for MS, and Sony. Once Mods come out, games last a lot longer, and people purches far less games.cobrax25

You have many other factors. (argueably/preferrably) Better controls in pc FPS. Lack of RTS games on consoles (if they enjoy this genre). Many exclusives to pc they enjoy (starcraft, diablo etc), MMO gaming, Free online.

So yea, the lack of mods is nothing to push people away from console gaming. anyone who goes it solely on pc's is doing it for more than just the mods.  

Most console users are casuals. They could care less about mods.foxhound_fox

The same goes for PC gamers.

Yes, but are you aware that the number of offline pc gamers vastly surpasses the number of online gamers?

Consoles won't allow MODS because MODS extend the life of a game far beyond what the developers intended.

In theory, more MODs = longer game use = less new games sold = less $$$.

Baaaad for the console industry.

So console industry is like: Make shallow 5h games and sell them continiously...
