User blog comment:Jimeee/ESO console versions delayed for six months/@comment-194.236.207.237-20140509084739/@comment-2189407-20140513234641

They were trying to give console players the ability to play on pc now then go to console later, while this does not help everyone, I do know some people who just prefer to play on console, but have a pc as well, so they will be able to get into the game now and progress, then be able to play on their platform of choice later. It was an attempt to at least help some of the people out, and there was little else which they could have done about it.
