Blizzard in talks for Xbox 720? "We aren't," says rep

blizzard

Blizzard's flattened a GI report from GDC, which claimed that Rob Pardo said the firm's in talk with Microsoft regarding the next Xbox. He didn't say anything of the sort, apparently.

"In the Lunch with Luminaries discussion, Rob said that Microsoft occasionally bounces ideas off of us, with no specific reference to any possible future consoles," a rep told Gamespot.

"This should come as no surprise, as our games run on Microsoft's PC operating system. We aren't in discussions with Microsoft regarding any future consoles."

Whoops. The original story said, "Blizzard's Rob Pardo has confirmed that his company has had talks with Microsoft about the successor to the Xbox 360."

No Xbox 720 for you, Mr WoW fan. Thanks, Shatner.
