Im an MMORPG addict(Not WoW I hate WoW) and I spent most of my gaming time on it. Now with the exception of PC, which do you think is best suitable for an MMORPG for the next-gen console? IMO, PS3 because it has a free Internet and also can be played with a USB keyboard & mouse which is very important for an MMORPG. BTW WoW SUCKS!!!
WoW has over 8 million subscribers, so it's obviously a great game. I think the majority of people disagree with you on that subject. As for which system would be best for MMORPG, that all depends. For great online server and excellent chatting, I'd go witht he XBox 360. Of course, if you like playing with a mouse/keyboard on your lap the PS3 might be a better choice. Both systems should be able to do a MMORPG with little problem. FFXI Online is already on the XBox 360.
Sony has more experince hosting a MMORPG on there systems, FFXI has been on the PS2 for years, while the 360 version is more less used and newer. I'd say the PS3
PS3.. Its the only system to have a mouse and keyboard attachment.. Its a big deal because alot of the successful MMOs out on the market have far too many buttons to make it effective on the gamepad.
MMOs are not suited for consoles at all without it being seriously dumbed down. Hell, even FFXI, a console focused MMO, sucks so hard on consoles. My answer is none. Zero. Nada.
Personally I think extended versions of Diablo-esqe gameplay (Like what is found in Guild Wars) is more suited consoles than a game like WoW or DAoC.
im gonna have to go with PS3 on this one. MMORPGs love HDD space....lots of it so the 40 and 60gig would be more suitable. then theres the free service (though id expect that there would be a monthly charge for a MMO on PS3...but no other service fee on top of it). keyboard and mouse are also fully supported.
360 could also provide a good game too though.
wii would have probs though due to its limited memory.
I'm pretty sure the Wii had a recent update that allows a keyboard to be attached...sexy_chimp
Yeah but not voice/microphones and it has THE worse internet support.. I would know I own one.. I like the system but I am honestly wondering wth was Nintendo thinking? I had more functionality in 1997-8 on the pc for online games.

Actually, other than missing voicechat, its online is almost as good if not the same as the PS3's.

[QUOTE="Kook18"]PS3 since it can use mouse & keyboardagentfred
And an M+K setup is required for an MMO now?
A keyboard is boarderline essential for many modern MMOs. I don't know if you've played any, but hotkeys are crucial.
unless the game has voice chat in full, typing your messages also become a bore when you have to select every letter from a cattalog with your controller

ps3 is the most suitable. 1. PSN 2. the cell's distributed and combined processing would make it a lot easier to manage and run online. 3. blu ray, you could fit a lot of worlds on one game disc. 4. standard hard drive means you can release updates no problem
PS3... 360 cant do MMOs cause MS makes you pay for 2 subscriptions. I can See ps3 making you pay one subscritpion. FF11 on 360 only sold what 11K copies. After MS payed for Square's ads. FF11 made you pay the Square fee and MS fee,Phantasy Star you pay MS fee and Sega Fee... too much. 9.99 per month and 5.99 per month. a little too much for a whole year of it.
Depends. If MS charges you monthly fees in addition to the LIVE fee - than the PS3. If not - the 360. The extra RAM in the 360 would be relatively important as well.
