These were not the only predictions made in the WoW cataclysm Gold report's 210 pages. Pachter added that he is expecting to be able to see Activision Blizzard launch a World of Starcraft massively multiplayer online game before the beginning of 2011, followed by a brand new version of the Wii hardware that can display high-definition graphics by the end of 2010. (He called the rumored console "Wii Plus.')

For more general developments, Pachter noted that the recent increase in the advertising market in games is now stagnant. He also described the market for mobile gaming as a fad, and said the rise in the amount of games sold because of the success of Apple's iPhone is deterred by the falling cost of such games. In the end, he had an unfavorable view of deals and mergers that could be made in the short time, saying that the biggest media firms have a cautious approach to the business, and there aren't many attractive potential candidates other than Blizzard.

But, the largest MMORPG publisher worldwide isn't eager to bring its titles to consoles. in an interview on the trade web site Industry Gamers, Blizzard tainment executive vice president WoW Cataclysm Classic outlined the issues that hindered this WoW Cataclysm Classic maker from making the move.

"There's plenty of problems to be faced. One of them involves the interface device. If you're trying adapt a video game such as WOW what is the process? Do you provide the game with a keyboard and mouse? Do you want to create an application that adapts to the various buttons and controls? It's a porting issue" WoW Cataclysm Classic said. "The most important thing to consider is the use of hard drives. I believe that WOW is 10 gigs in size and we're constantly pushing out more content. Cloud computing is a problem that it could be able to solve in the future, but for the current console generation, it's a lot to contend with. You'd need to consume nearly all the hard drive as well as there exist Xbox consoles sold by consumers] that do not contain storage devices."

WoW Cataclysm Classic also believes that MMOG developers stay away from the console market due to the fact that console makers would like a huge slice from the subscription market. However, he believes that Massivly multiplayer gaming will eventually be available on consoles and will thrive.

"The second major problem has to do with cheap WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold the company model. At present, Microsoft and Sony charge platform costs for retail however, if you launch an MMOG with a subscription model the company will require a portion of the subscription revenues also, and that is a problem," WoW Cataclysm Classic stated. "So there's many hurdles to overcome in the present for running multiplayer games on consoles but they can be overcome, and I'm sure that with the coming generation of consoles, it will be much simpler."
