From Ars Technica:

ow does one make a superhero MMO that will work on both consoles and computers from the get-go? Ars talks to Cryptic about Champions Online to find out.
Having spent 3 months in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles ... I have a basic understanding of the game. While i do have a 50 i never went on any epic strike forces, Mission Architect killed that for me. Anyways, I am very much hopeful that Champions Online proves to be the next step in the process of making a great SuperHero MMO as Champions is a solid paper and pencil game on its own and making the leap to the computer/console might not kill it for me.
