NCsoft is looking towards the console market for a possible MMOG in the future. Gamasutra caught up to NCsoft PR team leader Jin-Won Yun at the G-Star game trade conference in Busan, South Korea, where he stated the company is examining the possibility of bringing a mult-platform MMOG to the console. While nothing is set in stone as of yet, NCsoft could join a very exclusive club of console MMOGs if they decide to pursue it. Thus far games like EverQuest Online Adventure and Final Fantasy XI have proven to be only mildly popular on the console, but with the MMOG market expanding, it might be time to test the waters again.
After we finished [PC MMO] Aion, he began, we started thinking about what it would take to make an MMO come to consoles. Were testing that possibility. Were not in the development process yet, but were in the thinking and planning stages, Yun admitted.
