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.

Would be good if that came to game consoles
I agree - Trouble in Terrorist town is so fun to play - not sure if it would be the same on console though to be honest
Exactly Minecraft is a perfect example to use
Yes it is, that would be sick if it was put on the ps4.

DayZ was pretty popular a few months ago. It's hard to find someone who DOESN'T know.
