Worked fine for earlier MMOs like FFXI and Phanatsy Star Online, but it seems people forgot how to use anything less than a controller with consoles these days, it's a shame really..
i hate using a keyboard and mouse on my xbox.. it looks clumbsy and wrong.. besides i have no desk there to sit them on ..its awkward at best..

the true question is.. why would we worry about porting this game to console when there are still so many issues with it on pc?

I picked up DCUO on the PS3 while waiting for SWTOR and I must say that I would play a AAA mmo on console over computer any day. Just because it is on console does not mean it cannot have depth, except the amount of abilities but look at GW2 and TSW and such and you'll see that less abilities and more passive ones are the way to go, not just these generic abilities we have seen for ages and ages.

i believe this game could be ported to xbox right now,it already feels like a single player game,and it would probably run smoother using the xbox live service.
TOR...the best single player game on the market

Before I bought a PC and the game I was like: MAKE IT FOR THE XBOX 360!!! But after playing it on PC I can see why they aren't going to make it for other consoles. It with the multiple key choices. Here there are 1 purpose per button. While if you did it for a different console it would be more. And with the playing it online would be bad for the money that they earn. On PC you pay to play, while on XBOX 360 or PS3 you pay to be Online. Not for the gameplay itself. So that's why I think they shouldn't make it for other consoles. And I think that more people should get a PC, way better hand-to-eye movement

Hate to bring this up but um..if you plug in an xbox 360 controller into your PC while playing Tera it recognizes it instantly and even have multiple button configurations and presets. but thats a different type of game and not really tons of skills and hotbars but just saying...

Phantasy star online and dreamcast would like to have a word with you NOW thats old school lol.

But tech from then to now has advanced alot and what we can do even on a tv with an onlive system is something amazing compared to even 5 years ago.
