DayZ Developer Discusses Possibility of Game on Consoles

With Gamescom underway we're getting some news about DayZ. The highly successful ARMA 2 mod, which will soon have its own standalone game, had representatives at the convention. DayZ's project leader Dean Hall had a few things to say to the press. In particular, he spoke about the feasibility of eventually putting the game on consoles.

Dean Hall gave this statement to Joystiq:

"You're not going to put it on the consoles if you're only going to sell 100,000 units or something like that. DayZ will be driven by its PC development and it will innovative on that. And, once we're at a point, we'll take it and do a Mac version, 360 and PS3."

If gamers would like to see the game on consoles then they're first going to have to show they're ready to buy it on PC. So far the mod has generated tons of downloads, but will people be willing to pay for another version? Probably, since there's always more people discovering the title. What was Hall doing at Gamescom? He was meeting with console developers, of course. It seems that with all the success DayZ has had so far they may be feeling that the game on consoles is an inevitability.
