I hope they never even think of releasing it for any console. Consoles are the limiting factor of PC games. As you know most of the PC games are so limited because they developed to be a multi platform game. Then, PC version got Hi-Res texture packs and several engine "optimizations" for PC's.
Publishers get much more money by selling 3 versions of the same game. And as far as I know, console versions usually have better sales. So they always want to develop it for multi platform. And they are bound to develop it within weakest device limit.
As an example: If they create a wonderful SKYRIM ONLINE for PC/PS4/XBOX720 right now by using upcoming DirectX12... We will never be able to get engine update's for Direct X13 if those consoles can not handle it... 6 years later... we will be playing the same old SKYRIM ONLINE...
Remember, WOW was not like this when it was first created. It had several engine updates. If Wow was developed for PS2 and XBOX at that time, we could never have these updates...
