why does it have to be a wow clone? like someones already said take away the click on it till it dies aspect from wow and implement a more hack and slash gameplay and half the interface issues you guys are crying about vanish.
there are 16 face keys on your standard current gen gamepad, and there is NOTHING stopping keyaboard and mouse being implemented at all. all currently work on ps3 and x360 the latter will not let you use them as a periphereal under the pretense of keeping everyone at the same handicap. guitar hero comes with a guitar and wowclone could easily ship with keyboard and mouse. it's not like your not paying for it.
the cold hard reality is your average psn user thinks psn is great because it's free, and your x360 gamer is typically more interested in direct action games than slow plodding grindfests. blizzard has no idea how to target these people who don't want to spend money or waste their lives farming 12 pelts from 4000000 wolves. it's just a foreign group to them.
take torchlight, throw out that stupid click to move control system and implemet a dual analogue system ALA geometry wars. map the primary and secondary to the triggers, put health and mana on the bumper buttons. hot key anything else to the d pad, the character menu on select/back, the pausemenu on start/start? and i just earned 500,000 sell the game on psn and xblox live arcade so the first 15 dollars (1200 points or 15 dollars is about right for downlaod games) is your first month. keep adding new dungeons and selling themas upgrades will fund the server costs. most mmo's are just glorified chatrooms anyway. people will happily buy new dlc for dungeon crawl chats sessions on consoles. i know i do. hell i buy complete retail games to meet up with friends online.
