Is it me or does it seem like every Blizzard-related interview has either A). Somebody asking with World of Warcraft will hit consoles. B). Somebody saying that WoW won't hit consoles. C). Both.

Well, here we go! Says Blizzard's Itzik Ben Bassat:

We are not going to develop WoW for consoles. WoW was designed for PC and I think it will stay that way. Online console gaming is still in its very early stages, and it needs to be developed further to provide opportunities of a scale which will be interesting to us.

This means that no one can ask Blizzard about console gaming until we get the PS4 or the Xbox 720. Right? Bassat continues:

We have been talking to Microsoft and Sony. Personally I love XBLA — I think Microsoft has done an excellent job developing it and there are lots of exciting things there... With my colleagues at Microsoft I can give my opinion on what I've seen. I'm very impressed, I'm impressed by the people who do it, and the service is very easy, very intuitive. I love it.

Blizzard and Microsoft, BFF. Brian Ashcraft
