I agree completely with the whole console-MMO thing. Problem is, they've already made it rather clear that this is going to be PC-only. If they were going to have console ports, they would have told us by now. Plus, if they had console ports they'd have to run a completely separate set of servers per console. That's a lot of money to put into the same game that ultimately doesn't break even with profits.

That, and there's a chance there are more key commands/configurations than there are are buttons/logical button combinations. DC Universe (which I enjoy, by the way), to use your example, can easily adapt their keys to buttons on the PS3 controller. However, games like PlanetSide 2, an MMOFPS, could not get a console port because they have too many buttons and commands to fit on a remote in any form or fashion (I use a wired Xbox controller and I still have to swap from controller to keyboard when I'm swapping seats in a vehicle, holding the key to trigger mic chat, even simply changing weapons).

I wouldn't be surprised if TESO isn't getting a port for the same reason PlanetSide 2 does not have one, so as much as I don't like it, there's evidently not going to be a console port.
