Warrior Quest is a charming RPG designed for casual and expanded audiences that revolves around card collection and turn based battles. Online leader boards allow gamers to submit their scores and see where they stand in the game’s worldwide rankings. The game [will have] premium content due for release in the coming months to further expand the gaming experience.

Warrior Quest is a free-to-play online RPG. Re-launched two weeks ago, its publisher is reporting the game's console audience has surpassed its 'already substantial' PC and Mac audience, a record for the game (sidenote: the URL has been changed to mikomi.info). PlayStation 3 gamers especially are into it, though Wii owners, who can also play via their console's Internet browser, make up a sizable portion of the console audience.

Now, I realize this is just one game, but it does speak volumes. Is this the beginning of a shift to console-based online RPGs? Sony has already said as such (for them anyway) - will developers and publishers alike take note of this and test the waters, too? Would you rather play online RPGs from your console than your PC these days? Why?
