Assuming PC version is the best version, how does Xbox and PS4 rank?

    PS4 EU here - Lots of players, Lots of Guilds. Problem is that the population is rather big in Campaigns which causes crashes and a lot lag if you are a pvp player. I tend to get the "we have encountered a problem and need to close" error sign quite a bit with eso.

    If you are going console you can't beat the PS4 pro over the XB1s loading times are decreased graphics are superior, not only with ESO but also with FFXIV

    It makes me wish ESO was cross platform like FFXIV, for when I want to just chill on the couch and play.

    If I want pretty I play on PC, if I want friends and better PvP I play on PS4.

    Not PC? Not relevant.

    A low-level gaming PC is about the same price of a console, and still runs better. :p

    Actually this is not so a console is designed to run games, a PC at that price point is not.

    The Best Platform is the one you have to play the game on.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Graphics/game performance-wise:
    1. PC
    2. Xbox One X
    3. PS4 Pro
    4. PS4
    5. Xbox One

    PS4 and Xbox One are basically the same though. PC will fluctuate too based on your specs.

    It could be an artifact of instancing.

    I would describe console and PC the same way. However, I solo quite a bit in Cyrodiil and track killing blows. Aside from the regular pvp crowd that I have connections with through guilds or whatnot, I am constantly amazed at how few repeats I get.

    Interestingly, the instancing system outside of Cyrodiil is pretty seamless. There are only two ways I have been able to detect the instancing. One is logging out and back in when harvesting. The other way is with the equivalent of a LAN party, where toons from different accounts go to a zone before grouping (e.g., Craglorn). We have actually received a message asking approval to go to the instance the other account is in.

    This. Plus, now that all alliances intermingle post 1T, and the adding of vvardenfell, the populations are more spread out.

    I can say that on PS4 na, both shore and vivec are poplocked at prime time. Queue can be anywhere from 20 to 220 per alliance.

    Consoles sales don't always correlate with games population.We saw this with Cod a few years ago.Most people agree that xbox has the largest population. Thid mainly have to do with their being no competition for ESO on xbox.PS4 has final fantasy for example.

    I have the Xbox One X (which I believe improves visuals and loading times slightly over the "regular" Xbox One) and was wondering how it compares to the PS4 version?

    Who cares? PC master race yo.

    Xbox is joke in Europe, only PlayStation exists (excluding UK).

    But as I typed, officially, player base is equally split between PC, Xbone and PS4.

    The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.

    The player base is evenly split across platforms, apparently, or at least it was a year ago.
