World of Warcraft "definitely not" on 360

Despite earlier (highly
dubious) rumors,
Blizzard's COO Paul Sams told MCV, "We do not have any
plans to take [World of Warcraft] to Xbox 360. WoW is built as a PC gaming experience. Porting PC
games to console often compromises games, and we’d never allow the WoW gameplay experience to
suffer." In addition to the obvious absence of a keyboard, he also cites the walled-garden approach of Xbox Live would prohibit play between PC players and their Xbox counterparts. He wasn't entirely dismissive of the idea, offering that, while they don't have any console plans at the moment, they may consider it in the future. Maybe they're just waiting to see if other 360 MMOs are successful.
