Can ESO compete with Destiny , Planetside 2 and FFXIV?

Those other MMO will be on the consoles, how do you guys feel ESO will compete in the competition, which MMO do you think the console community will embody better?

    I think the console community will be split life the PC community. A niche player base will belong to each, and game hoppers will bounce between all until a new release makes its way to consoles.

    I don't care about the console market, not buying a £400 console, which might then fail anyway.

    Also don't really care for any of those games, next game I'll be interested in is the Elite MMO.

    Destiny and PS2 are definitely shooting for a different market than the others IMO. Final Fantasy XIV at least the second iteration has been pretty well received on the PC, while ESO received less than glowing reviews and doesn't seem to have the best reputation around the internet (not saying that they are right or wrong, just my perception), so it's really hard to tell. Oblivion and Skyrim did well on the consoles, so maybe ZoS is banking on the ES name.

    No, I don't think it can really compete, but only because they are such different games.

    Ok, I mean if someone is going to choose one of the others over ESo, you could say lost sale. But, people who really like those games above all, will go for them first. So that was always an inevitability, if they prefer MMOs, then ESO will win over.

    I'd say that only FFXIV is a valid comparison. The other two are like having a competition between Skyrim and any Call of Duty game. Totally different genres.

    Planetside 2 and Destiny no because they are shooters. FFXIV.....well I guess if you don't wan't actual challenging content then yeah I guess that could compete somewhat. But just spamming 1,2,3, across the same 5 dungeons you have been running for a year Doesn't do it for everyone.

    Don't know about Destiny and PS2, but from what i have played of FFXIV, ESO has nothing to fear.

    No it can't even come close.

    Wildstar even makes this game look like a drunken mistake.

    None of these options (including ESO) are appealing enough to pick up on the console.

    Only games I'm picking up this year for my PS4 is UFC (2 more days!) and Shadow of Mordor.
