Have the devs mentioned anything about XBONE/PS4 port possibilities?

War Thunder was ported to PS4 (extremely poorly too) and I hear it has about 90,000 players daily on there. Not too shabby

Many of the UI2.0 design choices seem suspiciously "console ready". And they recently said they'd enabled Xbox controllers. So...

If you look at a modern controller and try to figure out how to apply all the functions used by a pilot, you'll see it's almost impossible to make sure everything transfers over. Console players will end up at a significant disadvantage. Well, the queues would probably be split anyway, but the game would have to be simplified quite a bit.

If I was running PGI, I would try to plan ahead and develop a single-player, AA-quality title with it at the end of MWO's life cycle, which I'm guessing would be late-2015 to early 2016. Marketing aside, based on what I see MWO so far, I feel like all we need is competent AI design as well as time and money, then we could have a proper SP/Coop game on our table.

That can totally go to console.

I actually could care less as long as they don't down down graphics settings for the rest of us PC users. I say bring on the loads bullet sponges that cant hit the broadside of a barn.

Modern video game consoles are just dumbed down PCs.

Why anyone would buy a dedicated proprietary non-upgradable piece of hardware just to play games on the screen when by plugging your computers video output to the TV (or even better: a beamer) and using a game controller you can have the same effect is behind me.
