    I know what they're doing. 5 million signed up for the PC beta, but only a million actually bought the game. 80% of people who tried out the game in beta decided to not buy it. Lost revenue.

    Wonder why only 1 million out of 5 million decided to buy?

    Console will probably be more stable in terms of gameplay, a lot easier to find and iron out bugs when you are dealing with just a single set of hardware (same with any console games). But in terms of graphical fidelity, player and object draw and render... Not sure, they will probably have to severely limit Cyrodiil campaigns to so many players and create a lot more dynamic layers in PvE when a lot of players are present.
    8th gen consoles are worse in terms of hardware than most player's average mid-range computers here so I expect a lot of drawbacks made to make the game more playable. This ain't skyrim afterall.
    Sometimes, I dream about...cheese...

    Dermont - v16 Pompous Altmer Sorcerer (With a very arrogant face!)
    Egonieser - v16 Nord Stamina Dragonborn Wannabe
    Endoly - v16 Tiny Redguard Sharpened MaceBlade
    Egosalina - v16 Breton Cheesus Beam Specialist
    Egowen - v16 Dunmer Whipping Expert (Riding crops eluded her)
    (Yes, I had to grind all these to v16)
    Akamanakh - lvl 22 Khajiit GankBlade (Inspired by Top Cat)
    Targos Icewind - lvl 34 Imperial (Future) Jabplar

    It was 4millions of poor F2P kids, who couldn't accumulate 60$ from their breakfasts.

    I think you may be onto something in regards to Cyrodil.
    Hopefully it's different than pC but more enjoyable and functional

    Yeah, no. If the game was good enough they would have bought it. It wasn't.
