"Xbox Live is not even close to us"
Blizzard COO Paul Sams has expressed his personal admiration for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console, but argues that console online services can't compare to Battle.net and World of Warcraft.
"When you look at Battle.net and you look at the subscribership we have with World of Warcraft, even Xbox Live is not even close to us," he said, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz in Leipzig.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Players are addicted to WoW, it is digital crack. And almost as expensive as the real thing.
They said that xbox live is awesome but it would need a major overhaul for MMO's like WoW. This was from sometime last year.

Paul Sams is my boss and if he feels that this is somthing we sould not be working on then thats the way it will be.
