SOE Fully Commits to Console MMOs

13
Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has confirmed his company's commitment to console MMOs, stating that all future SOE MMO titles will see console releases.

"I would say that we would be one of the early adopters on [bringing MMOs to consoles], and we plan on becoming one of the dominant players in the MMO space on consoles," said Smedley to MTV. "We see that marketing coming; we think it's there now, so we want to get a good market share there."

SOE's upcoming MMOs The Agency and DC Universe Online will both see simultaneous release on PlayStation 3 and PC.

"I think what's going to happen is you're going to see a whole new generation of players that have been playing 'Resistance' now start getting introduced to MMOs," added Smedley. "I think it's going to be a cool way for them to experience games that have been on the PC for a while, but have a totally different kind of gameplay on the console."

      judging by what the majority of PC MMO gamers are playing, i'd say they don't either.
