Star Trek Online Not Coming Consoles

Cryptic, makers of Star Trek Online, have told Videogamer.com that they have stopped perusing developing STO for the Playstation 3 or XBox 360. This is a similar move that was made for Champions Online, indicating the company wants to keep its resources focused on PCs.

"It's pretty much in the same boat as the Champions console version right now," he said. "It's something we can readily do in terms of technology. We've had it up and running on certain consoles, and had plans and designs in order to take advantage of those platforms. But as it stands right now it's a little difficult to make that final leap on the business side of things. So, currently, just like Champions, the console version of Star Trek Online is on the back burner."

Cryptic could change its mind in the future but at the very least this means that a console version of STO is years away. (via Joystiq)
