yes but who cares
why spend all this money expanding the game to consoles for a game that might be nearing the end of new content
they are doing just fine with it as it is

You would have to use the thumbsticks to move stuff etc. it would be insanely hard and time consuming. Maybe for the wii u?

Edit: dang, ninja'd :D

Sim Simpsons. Really, wouldn't have to change much.

Oh, I don't know, 31% of the people who voted in this poll? It's probably a safe bet that at least 30% of the people who voted "No" said so just because they don't have/can't afford a One/PS4.

And you figure new content will end soon based on --

I don't see why everyone thinks it would be hard on a console, if anything it would be easier

Would you approve of this? I know I sure would. I wonder why it hasn't been done yet... :(

No, since I don't have either of those. If it came to Wii U, then I could see it. At least the Wii U has a touch screen and the game would play the same.

You're logic is terrible. The 31% who said yes already have the game so how would adding it to a console expand the audience?

I think TSTO would be an awful idea to make on a console. Think about how most people play: they log in for a few minutes while waiting in line, on a work break, while eating, during tv commercials, etc. Rarely do people log in for more than a few minutes unless they are visiting neighbors. Who is going to start up their console and tv and load up the game to play for 5 minutes and then turn everything off?

Tsto works cuz it is a fantastic time waster for a few minutes several times a day. This requires it to have quickly, easy access a la portable devices.

This would never work on consoles. How would these hourly tasks work on a console? If you took the game out the time would just stop or reset depending on saves I guess and then all the additional content. You know Microsoft charges for DLC so that would be awful. This is not the type of game for consoles....at all.

the game syncs with a server.. doesn't matter if your phone is on or off tasks will still complete would be no different on a console.

people might play it for a few minutes before they start to play a game.. some people who play this game only use 24 hour tasks to only have to log in once a day.

Cross-platform.

I want to say that I am absolutely amazed that you misused "You're" ... that deserves some mega "I'm a failure" award.

Anyway, I didn't say people who voted would expand the audience? The audience would expand because people with a PS4/One would see the advertisement and download it. Maybe they haven't seen it on the App Store (or don't have a phone/tablet) and would play it in that case. Don't question my logic when yours doesn't even exist.

And people who take their Springfield seriously don't often spend "a couple minutes" on Tapped Out. Those who actually care what their Springfield looks like can spend a considerable amount of time tinkering their town. Speak for yourself.

That's the main reason Tapped Out would be better on a console for designers or whatever you want to call them.
