The first time a WoW Xbox player attempts PVP, gets face rolled by a PC player, and realizes they cannot compete with an Xbox, that is going to be very sad.
my grandson was playing on Xbox with mouse and keyboard…I dont see why WoW couldnt be played on it if its compatible otherwise.

Ok, I’ll bite. Why would WoW PvP be at a disadvantage on an XBox?
I still won’t understand why people still swear by consoles, besides Nintendo fanboys since they got loads of IPs only available on it. A comparably priced PC can do everything a console does and more.
If they bring it to console I doubt it will be cross platform…
Because it’s mostly hassle free.
You buy it, just plug it in, and 97% of the time it will work. For that 3%, you take it back to the store for an exchange because you got a lemon.
With PCs random things will break for various reasons - i.e. MS update broke something, GPU driver update broke something, …

My computer is years old and I haven’t had any issues after I assembled it. Plus if you are really desperate, they make pre-made PCs. All the extra stuff a PC does more than makes up for spending less than 30 minutes to assemble ~8 parts.
As a computer user for decades, the lengths I have to go through to fix the random hiccups … editing the registry, running arcane cli commands, download tools to fix bad uninstalls, uninstall various MS C++ runtime libraries due to conflict or something, … etc.
For most people … ain’t no one got time for that.

With other online games like FF14 and such having integrated the use of mouse and keyboard to play their games on console…it is possible. But expect a lot of kickback. There is a good amount of “hate” towards a port to console and I expect this post to be filled with it here soon enough.
Diablo is cross platforms and so is FF14
Turn speed. That is the defining factor when engaging in PvP Pc/Console MMOS.
Think about trying to land a Chaos Bolt on a rogue that is spinning around you.
Doesn’t Xbox have a joy stick? It seems you would need turn speed control to regulate “yaw” on any airplane simulation. Does it really not have that?
That would be cool…console version and PC version. lots more paying customers without having more PC version problems.
They will make Xbox be better than PC for playing WOW. Microsoft owns Blizzard now. Everyone of you will either pay 600$+ yankee dollars or you do not play the game.
because console is just easier.
with a PC you gotta worry about having the right GPU, the right drivers, the right operating system, etc, etc.
With xbox, you just install the game and don’t worry about it.
ugh…or put it on android so my damned phone can update again and make it unplayable.
Morons just updated my cell phone couple weeks ago and now half my streaming services refuse to work even though its all updated.
You can edit it, but it will not be anywhere as precise as MnKB. Same with FPS games. MnKB will allow precise movements right off the bat.
You can change things like speed for sure, but youll wind up overshooting. You can change the speed at which it goes full throttle, but that messes with muscle memory.
That would bust the revenue curve causing them to lose more money due to people leaving the game than they would gain by the higher price.
I already have an Xbox more than one of them. Replaying the Halo series.
The main reason why WoW will never come to Xbox Console is because of the networking architecture of WoW itself. It would be a near impossibility to get WoWs 20 year old netcode to work with Xboxs servers, and have them interact together in the same ecosystem.
This means the player base would never interact between the two. There would be no cross-play. And in an MMORPG, crossplay is something you need to have in this age.
The most that will possibly happen is that this new handheld can emulate Windows or Linux like how Steamdeck does…and then WoW MIGHT go on Gamepass. That would be cool.
