In the November 2006 issue of EGM, their rumor man (codenamed "Q") reported several interesting rumors. For one, he stated that a brand new, unique SIMS game would be coming to the Wii. "Q" also predicted that 2K games would be coming out with a brand new football game with professional players from the past. Finally, "Q" said that Harmonix would announce an online music game with multiple instruments after the release of Guitar Hero II. Well, all of "Q"'s predictions came true. This is suprising, because he made them nearly 6 months ago, while they were confirmed only in the timespan of the last few weeks. Now, there is one last prediction that "Q" made that I have yet to mention. He also proclaimed that Microsoft is working on a keyboard periphal for the Xbox 360 controller for the sole purpose of wooing Blizzard into developing WoW for their platform. "Q" has proven to be a reliable source, and I have little reason to doubt what he says, especially in the November 2006 issue, where he seemed to be right on the money. So, Blizzard is expected to make a big announcement about its next game in the next week or two, and I now have a reason to believe that it is WoW for a next gen console.

Exactly. I don't really care if WoW comes to 360, PSP or even Snes, since I don't play WoW nor own a console.

Like a keyboard for the 360 is really going to make Blizzard waste their time porting the game....

imo, theres too many controls that you have to have access to right away. it might work with that small keyboard (the one that attaches to the controller), but i still doubt it.

FF11 has a far more cumbersome control scheme and it works on the PS2 controller.  I agree that an MMO on a controller is just bad news, but for those that only play consoles and/or on a controller it can be done.

i wasn't all that impressed with WoW on the PC so i don't really care if it comes to the 360, ps3, super nintendo, or my cell phone.  i still won't play it.  and that keyboard peripheral you speak of looks like this.The Xbox 360 controller (left) and an artist's sketch of the top secret keyboard attachment.good luck playing WoW with that.  it's a miracle they found a control scheme to make C&C 3 work on consoles.  i'd doubt they could make a game that thrives on keyboard shortcuts even more than an RTS work for the 360

Please explain why Blizzard completely wiped out their console programming division then?  If anything, they are getting ready to annouce the next Starcraft or Warcraft for the PC. Blizzard doesn't need the support of consoles. Also, I think System Wars would have been a better place to post this garbage.

Jonathan LeCraft from Blizzard says differently by the by: http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/15-01-2007-4497.html

Doesn't look like it will happen therefore. As for what they will announce in S.Korea? Most likely Starcraft related, considering it's practically a religion there. New franchise or something Diablo related are also possible.

If this is true, than Microsoft might just help kill PC gaming. How ironic.
