- creative director Paul Barnett believes Nintendo is the only company capable of creating a successful console MMO, he recently revealed in an interview with CVG.
"You would have to build something very console centric from the get-go," Barnett believes. "I think probably the best chance of someone doing something like that is Nintendo -- doing something crazy that no one expects."
Along with the laundry-list of issues cited by Pirates of the Burning Sea producer Joe Ludwig in the blog post we reported on earlier today, Barnett feels a key difficulty in crafting an MMO for a console is players' fondness for market-leader World of Warcraft.
"The number-one problem of a developer of an MMO these days is it's very hard to be creative and keep your eye on the target when almost everyone has only ever played one of these games and it dominates their thinking," Barnett says.
