At max settings, no I don't think they could. WoW is more system intensive than it used to be even in the old world.

It is especially CPU intensive and the current generation of consoles have garbage CPUs.

They could likely run it at 60fps because WoW has a wide range of settings and can be played on a pretty potato PC, but even good PCs will drop to lower framerates (relative to what it can normally run at) in 20/30 man raids with lots of spell effects or adds.

I think the biggest holdup to WoW being on console is the rate at which blizzard pushes patches and hotfixes and having to get them approved by Sony. Also the fact that Blizzard leaves a ton of QoL features up to addons will make it an vastly different experience on console. (No dps meters, boss addons, UI addons, etc).

Not sure why you think a console can't run a MMORPG when the there are plenty that run just fine. Final Fantasy XIV has crossplay that works with PC, Steam, PS3, PS4 for crying out loud. OH NOES SETTINGS ARENT AT MAX?!? Well of course but console players give no fricks that there are PC rigs that smoke them.




On another note, I always thought it was crazy that companies didn't port a ton of older PC RTS games like the OG Warcraft and city builder games like Sim City 2000 for the WiiU. It had the perfect controller for those sort of games.

Are we talking WoW here? Because when someone says Warcraft, I think 1/2/3.
