Gamescom: DayZ May Hit Consoles |

Yes, this is yet another story about DayZ. The mod, which has over a million players and has driven Arma II to the top of Steam’s charts, is essentially a runaway success. Which means, of course, that it’s time to start cashing in.
We’ve talked previously about DayZ’s developers hoping to create a standalone game for PCs, but apparently they’re also taking a close look at the current console generation. Dean Hall, the lead for the game, said that he’s been meeting with a few folks over at Gamescom about making this a reality, and is really hoping to bring the game to at least one of the big consoles.
Of course, it all depends on the project’s viability:
“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.”
File this one under “maybe” for now. But hey—who wouldn’t want to see DayZ on their Xbox or PS3?

As long as they don't design it specifically for consoles and then port that version to the PC, it should be fine.
