Any news on this? Around 3 months ago they said it would be 6 months. Now it's getting close and not a word. In fact the question is always avoided. Any chance at all this isn't going to happen?

    Seeing as how ESOs client only utalizes Two Cpu Cores.
    And consoles have Eight
    (CPU performance is Split between cores, 2/8 = 25% cpu performance)

    The Consoles CPU's arent exactly top of the line either, thus they will have Major issues running ESO. or any game that cant use more than 2 cores for that matter, ESPECIALLY MMO's.

    They are going to have to recode alot of stuff for improved multicore support. I'm not even sure if they can.

    It is definitely going to happen because their whole business model is based
    on an eventual console release

    Game releases are determined by financial quarters 4 a year q1-4
    we're nearly into q4 for this year and i haven't heard a peep about beta for consoles so that's out.

    consoles beta will need to be about 3 months which pushes release into q1 next year for definite. Q1 seems very optimistic which means Q2 is the most realistic possibility.

    Short Answer : between April and June next year probably to coincide with the pc 1 year anniversary.

    So let me get this straight: You want to ride on a magic carpet to see the king of the potato people and beg with him for your freedom. And you're telling me that you're completely sane? - Rimmer - Red Dwarf V - Quarantine

    That seems like a great answer. At this point why not just tell us. I'm not even going to get into everything right now but it's getting old. I'd rather them just tell me anything besides having total silence. It turns me away from liking a game. I've had it on PC since day and have subbed since day one hoping to start on console in June and that didn't happened. Oh well. Then I'm told 6 months. Then I'm told maybe sometime the start or next year. The only reason I'm paying and playing this game with the promise of it coming to console eventually.

    Take a break..save your money. The 4 to 6 month wait could save you $90...that's destiny and dlc....plus extra $$!
