User blog comment:Jimeee/ESO console versions delayed for six months/@comment-24635570-20140512002418/@comment-2189407-20140513233814

What is not said here is that that $20 allows for porting characters to the console from the pc. So assuming you have a pc but really wanted to play on console, you can buy the game now for pc, make and level up a character and have a running start for the launch on consoles. Personally I already have ESO for pc and am now considering playing on my ps4 as well because of this, but we shall se how well the game goes with time.
