Hopefully you will do a good conversion and a good control-management without cutting the variety of controls out of the game. IF you manage to make CS as playable on console as on PC, you could show that any city-building game can not just be played on PC.

Please bring it to PS4! PS4 sales are higher in every region including North America. It shouldn't be that difficult to do on multiple platforms given the x86 architecture.
Thanks.
Thanks.
it's not the architecture that's problematic. you just use a different compiler.
the operating system and graphics driver are problematic. changing every call takes time.
I am under the impression that Unity abstracts much, much of the platform difference away. But it's still an additional platform to support and implement, there is a bunch of handiwork on making sure stuff works, submit for certification, change the failures if it's rejected, submit again until it's approven, and then deployment.
Xbox One is the lowest common denominator in terms of performance, but also it's Microsoft's, so it would be more similar to Windows. If it gets through, performance-wise PS4 shouldn't pose much of a challenge.
There is still that uncertain aspect of how mods will be handled in Xbox One. It may be that Microsoft is planning something in this regard modeled after Steam Workshop. PS4 would need a similar development to be viable.
It's a safer bet (and already a large enough project) to put up the resources on a single console and see if it sticks. If the Xbox version tanks, they won't have spent resources in a dud for the PS4. if it sticks, they will have more resources to build up a team to manage the PS4 port

1. If Colossal Order figures out a way to play this game solely with controller which should provide the same amount of fluidity as that of mouse and keyboard, then and only then should they think of porting this game to consoles. Otherwise it would be a waste.
2. If possible, then PC Gamers would be able to play only with controller. I'm curious as to how they will pull it off.
3. It might even revolutionize the way we play city simulation and strategy games, and as for me it will be a reason to consider buying consoles. Not that I would though.

I would like to get an update on the current status of Xbox One version. Is it true that the release date has been pushed back to 2017?
After the Xbox version is released, will it be possible to play on the PC with the gamepad?Still being developed
Xbone doesn't have steam. Workshop is what made modding , downloading and keeping up to date with mods so easy. I think Xbone will just be a base game + DLC and maybe selected 'popular' mods released as a free pack or paid pack with the money going to the modders.
This wasn't the question, was it?Still being developed
In case you missed it, the question is WHEN.
