    I played FFXIV on both PC and PS4, and ended up liking it better on console. I think it will be the same with ESO for me.

    There is literally no reason to play it on console IMO. Yo want to play, layed back? set it up on a tv monitor and sit on the couch.

    console version also has no text chat
    add-ons are NEEDED to even have close to basic MMO features

    Yeah, the no text chat thing is kinda crappy. I will also be missing just a couple of add ons. I still think it will be fun, and the good thing is if I don't like it, I can just come back to PC. I was just thinking of my experience with FFXIV and console games like Skyrim.

    I assumed most people on here would vote to stay PC, but I plan on playing and hopefully enjoying it on console. Thanks for you input @PKMN12

    Sure there will be some drawbacks of what we used on pc (chat, addons, etc) but you also have to see the good side of it.

    1) No one will have addons, not just you :). That will promote exploration and everything you will achieve by that (find chests, books, e.t.c.) you know that will matter cause other people will have to search for them too and not just follow a map pin. It will create a very early MMO feeling, where we didn't had addons and you cannot just alt-tab to a site to see where to go. So there will be exploration.

    2) Zero bots. You farm 2 hours mobs for materials or you run around 1+ hour to gather material and this has value...you wont see bots around gather your nodes and you will not feel like someone else is sleeping right now while he has a bot gather materials for 8 hours for him.

    3) Introduction of new MMO players. Lets face it. PC MMO players are all jaded and burned out on MMOs...their playstyle is rush to endgame, kill kill kill to get loot loot loot. We are lot the maturity, the noobish behaviour and eventually our social interactions on MMOs. Console will bring lot of people who never played MMOs before and I hope that it will create a "Vanilla wow" feeling.

    Considering console players and new players are not on the forums and this is mainly us who are transferring the numbers look about right. The pc community will take a hit come june the 9th but nothing it cannot handle.

    Complete balderdash. Been around since early access and STILL have no add ons installed.

    No text chat definitely is a big strike against, though.
    I also don't own a console. And will not ever again, not since graduating to PC gaming.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Same here.

    I'm glad that the console players won't be using addons, they will do just fine and prove to those who believe they must have them that they're wrong and that they are missing out on so much (such as exploration for its own sake) by having become dependent on them.

    However, I have no more interest in consoles than I have in laptops. Desktop PC is best for all my computer needs including gaming.

    Interesting opinion.

    Looks like the PC servers will be losing 33% of their fellow players(assuming the potatoes are split like the rest of us).

    And you and others call that a win? Strange......

    Um, you may not have noticed, but he didn't actually express an opinion (unless you're talking about his opinion that the results are "interesting"), he just stated what the results were currently showing without making any judgment about what that may or may not mean. He definitely didn't call anything a win.

    I own several consoles (although the only one relevant to this discussion is the PS4) but I'd rather play ESO on PC because I'm not really a fan of voice chat, especially since I often can't use sound at all, I think I'll be more comfortable playing it with a mouse and keyboard and in my house the PC is more likely to be free than the TV so I have more opportunities to play.
