Hall: DayZ console port discussed with Sony; 'wait and see'
"Certainly I think if we don't – for want of a better word – 'fuck up' the PC release, then I would say a console port is almost certain," Hall told The Escapist. "I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I'm not a console gamer, I'm a PC gamer, but I don't think it necessarily has to hurt things."
Hall has put his thoughts into action already: He met with Sony and people there were into the idea.
"It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in; I think we just have to wait and see," he said. "We've talked and met with Sony, and they're obviously interested."
DayZ was initially scheduled to launch in December of last year, but now it won't see an alpha until June at the earliest. Hall's main concern is perfecting the client-server architecture, but once that's settled, he'll start sending out batches of alpha keys, possibly 50,000 at a time. And let's not forget that brief time Hall considered turning DayZ into a free-to-play experience.

Smurfs I hope this moves to consoles.
I really don't. Arma has to agree with it too, and so does dayZ and i'm not sure if arma wants dayZ to get money off of their game.

thomazChicagoMadePunk Dayz was a waste of a mod/game...
I think you meant to say WarZ. DayZ is a wonderful mod and soon to be great game.
I hate both warz and dayz.
