Gamasutra talked to Turbine CEO Jim Crowley about Turbine's future support for cross and multi platform support!

Crowley noted that in Japan and the West -- less so in China, Korea and other parts of Asia -- "the game platform of choice for many people tends to be the next-gen console platform. We think it’s important that we participate in that community."

He feels the market "has very strong appetite" for the experience of an MMO on consoles -- "And we're not disclosing yet how we're going to do that, but it's fair to say that is a very important part of how we look at the world going forward, and one that we have devoted a significant amount of time and resources to already."

I'm sure we'll be hearing more and more on this subject as folks in the MMO making business are scrambling to grab console fans!  What that means for those of us committed to a PC market for our beloved games, well, we can only hope that we're not taken over by the console folks!
