I couldn't find the article but I remember Yoshi P saying that they are not trying to corner the market on PC MMO's because there are so many already for people to choose from but rather they are trying to bring the "MMO Experience" to console gamers.
If that is the case..that makes me sad ._. PC will always be far superior to consoles. I would never even consider owning a console..I do not like inferior things. I understand why some people have them but I have no interest in it.

Also how does one know SE is doing the norm when the game is not out yet? Well not even the fact that it is not out...they have not given us any solid information or released the beta for us to judge and critique it. There is no point in giving feedback on something we have not had the chance to hands on experience. We simply do not have enough information about the game to make proper judgement. :P
