"No plans(tm)"
It's been delayed INDEFINITELY. they can barely have it running good on top end gaming PCs, imagine how it would run on a much lesser machine we are always being told our consoles are. Obviously I can't say with 100% certainty but I feel I am being realistic that they'll probably end up announcing they won't be able to get it to work on console.
What is the next announcement?
In last December: Developing looking good on both PC and consoles.
About 2 weeks later in January: Sorry guys, on console we delay the release to autumn.
A bit later: We suspended its developing until we fix the PC version.
?
A: Hope dies last.
B: Just foget it.
C: Hope is already dead, just forget it.

Sure, totally agree at least on last-gen consoles.
I have (very, very) vague hope FDev can get Odyssey working on SeriesX and PS5. Last gen i have little hope, and even if it does launch i doubt it's going to be a great experience: like actual minimum viable product experience.
With the CM engagement so far i think consoles are going the way of OSX / MacOS and going to be dropped.
Never (hopefully).
IMO, no later than end of May 2022.
Why?
From a financial point of view, if it's released in Autumn 2021 (as planned at EDO launch), or in Winter 2021 or end of May 2022 - it's the same.
It still counts in the FY2021 as planned.

It all depends on whether there is sufficient install base to justify the work.
It's been a protracted divorce.
It all started so well, the new developer, full of enthusiasm, nothing was impossible, taking on the world.
Then came the point that things started settling down - along with his PC mates, he then got into bed with the cousins.
Just one at first, very much a toe in the water but it meant that he could grow, experience new things
As the relationship flourished, more and more things were done together. Everyone benefited, things that one wanted to do, everyone enjoyed.
There were times of stress, disagreements on what each party should expect from the other. Which direction the relationship should go, what things should be focused on. Whether all parties should be expected to pay for things or get them for free.
but through it all, things we sort of happy.
And then came the other cousin. The one that had previously been shunned. The one that was suddenly going places and was the one that was seen to be with.
For a time it was good.
But the relationship was under strain.
The enthusiasm had gone.
It was now a chore rather than a pleasure.
They did some things together, made some improvements and went on some new ventures together but each time, the strain on the relationship remained.
And each time, the developer would face problems, he would take solace with his PC mates when looking for reassurance.
And then came the mid-life crisis.
What were they doing?, what would they want to be known for?, What mark would they leave on the world?
So the developer hit out in a new direction. He would do things that he had never done before but had always wanted to try.
The covid pandemic meant that at a time when they were trying to tackle the new, things got a whole degree harder.
The console cousins, had also had children. These children were quicker, smarter, more powerful than their parents and they were demanding that the developer respond to their needs as well.
But the developer was ill-equiped to deliver on his promises, so bit-by-bit he retreated into the safe space of his PC mates.
It started with a gentle deferral - we're going to sort out this bit before we give you your bit.
before moving to - we're in a bit or a pickle, sorry we haven't been talking for a while, we promise to show progress
to - we're in a deeper pickle than we thought, we don't know when we can talk to you
to - not returning calls
I wonder if it wont be long before papers are served - citing unreconcilable differences.
It's like, if they drive us (console cmdrs) all away they won't have any need to optimize for console and can be done with it.
There are still a fair few players that play on console but the trick is keeping them there.
New content is a good way of doing that. If they can't create new content for different platforms the game won't grow.
Some players, like me, defect to other games and come back when there is an update or new content. I am happy to come back when Odyssey releases for consoles because there are plenty of other games to play in the meantime!

Unfortunately there aren't any games like Elite.......yet.
Well there's [REDACTED] but it's PC-only.
If you do have a PC thats not too old, there's a "Free fly" event at the moment, which could be a way to check it out if your PC can handle it and see what another spaceship game does / doesnt do compared to Elite.
stick to horizons,i have pc and od but gave up with od.who wants to run around a planet when you have a srv.to much to get on with in horizons and it works.no offence to ed.they do a good job
I think it's more likely they'll focus on the newest consoles (PS5 / Xbox Series X/S) than drop them all together.
Tell them that. All they keep saying about ps5 and xbsx is they have "no plans" for them at all
Great answer! Saved me typing similar, thank you!
Xmas if they don’t Bork hard.
I need bigger gpu and 16 thread cpu upgrade for PC win 11 Odyssey. I hope they don’t choke my version to make vanilla ps4 and Xbox work
Or 4 year old potato PCs lol
