Blizzard Denies Xbox 720 Involvement
by Chris Faylor, Mar 30, 2009 10:35pm PDTFamed World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has denied that it's in talks with Microsoft regarding the inevitable Xbox 360 successor, often referred to as the Xbox 720.
Word that Blizzard and Microsoft were in Xbox 720 talks emerged last week via GamesIndustry.biz, which claimed that Blizzard executive Rob Pardo dropped the tidbit during a "Lunch with Luminaries" discussion at Game Developers Conference.
"We aren't in discussions with Microsoft regarding any future consoles," Blizzard, also responsible for the popular Diablo and StarCraft series, told GameSpot today.
According to Blizzard, Pardo merely noted that "Microsoft occasionally bounces ideas off of us, with no specific reference to any possible future consoles."
The company, which is also working on a next-gen MMO, added that "this [consultation] should come as no surprise, as our games run on Microsoft's PC operating system."

The only thing I thought was interesting from short speech, was if those guys are bouncing ideas off of each other. In my opinion that means that Blizzard might make all future games for PC/MAC/XBOX which is cool to me. Don't be surprised if the Blizzard next-gen MMO is for the next-gen xbox, and released around the launch date of the 720.
