The release of a largely anticipated, epic fantasy MMORPG like Guild Wars 2 for console platforms could possibly cause extreme damage to the company, ArenaNet; I don’t think that they would make this kind of move without considering the risk.

While the question of console continuity makes for an entirely different breed of argument, it’s still an important point to defend; consoles running MMOs, ones as vast as GW2, probably wouldn’t blend very well. MMORPGs are already supportive of online communities, but throwing the two together seems not only like overkill, but also a complete joust at what makes PC gaming so unique. It’s an entirely different universe, not meant to be combined, or replaced, with another.

However, on ArenaNet’s FAQ site about Guild Wars 2, they’ve unofficially announced that the only platform running the game will be on PC. It might’ve been confirmed elsewhere, but I’m waiting until the official site mentions anything.
