World of Warcraft Headed to the Xbox 360?

GameSpot’s latest “rumor control” article focuses on the possibility that Blizzard’s World of Warcraft could make its way to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Of course, it’s just a rumor…

Prior to E3 2005 in May, scuttlebutt was rampant that Microsoft would announce the massively multiplayer role-playing game was coming to its next-gen console at its press conference. The company did indeed announce a 360 MMORPG…problem was it was Final Fantasy XI, which is already available for both the PC and PlayStation 2–hardly a system-selling title.

Were WOW to become available for the 360, though, it would be a much different story. Given World of Warcraft’s popularity–it already has over 4.5 million subscribers and has been among the top five top-selling PC titles since its 2004 release–many gamers would gladly buy a 360 just to get in on the Azeroth action.
