Speaking to this website today at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany, have told us that MMOs can "definitely" work on home games consoles, but stopped short of revealing plans beyond the PC.

Lead game designer Tom Chilton told us: "Well, I definitely think MMOs can work on consoles. No question that it's a possibility."

Production director Jay Allen Brack then affirmed: "Currently, we're not really motivated to try to move WoW to a console. The biggest thing is that WoW wasn't designed for a console, so retrofitting it would be a pretty serious challenge. That said I have seen people hooking controllers up to their consoles, it's a little difficult though. An on the console would be an MMO designed specifically for the console."

In our new interview, Chilton also talked-up the new Wrath of the Lich King add-on for WoW, affirming that it represents the MMOs most ambitious content yet.

"We're trying to ensure the pack is as successful as possible. This is the deepest storyline we've done," the designer beamed.

More from Leipzig soon.
