Turbine's Craig Alexander, at GDC Austin, talked that future MMORPG will be on console. Saying that, "we really finally have the hardware and the storage capacity to develop what we consider more traditional MMOs with lots of content,"
He also mention that developing on Xbox 360 is easier and cheaper than PS3. Some of the reasons are, PS3 memory is 256ish MB while Xbox 360 is 512ish MB, and Xbox 360 has more tools for development. But then, porting from Xbox 360 to PS3 will be harder than the other way around. So developer has to choose carefully which console to use for first development.
About Nintendo, Craig described Nintendo more resemble previous generation, and its just not there yet.
