Wow this is a great deal, I probably would have bought it eventually even at $80, but at only $20 plus getting my levelled characters and gear/money transferred for free it is a no brainer.

They could have just done nothing and have everyone pay full price again who want to play it on console.
I think it's a nice gesture for the people that bought the PC game at launch and now want to play it on console, without having to rebuy the console version again for the full 60 bucks.

The game will be dead in 3 months on the consoles, console players are huge locusts of content
And if it sells 5M, 10M or maybe even 20M eventually on console so what? People bought Skyrim, played Skyrim and after some months it was dead. Doesn't make Skyrim a failure.
Edit: and no evidence, imo, to suggest that console players are any different to PC players when it comes to "consuming" content.
Skyrim is pretty much alive, it is a singleplayer game and new content hits the net every day lol.
Fact that you don't play it doesn't make it dead.
The world is still out there even after you close your curtains lol.
I applaud anyone who can play Skyrim for hundreds of hours regardless of mods.
Anyway, this 20$ console version deal is sort of a reward for early PC adopters, which is kind of cool IMHO. What is not cool is that Zenimax has put a 30 day time limit for this option. I wasn't the early adopter of this game, just commenting.

Yeah, it's a pretty good deal. I appreciate when a dev does something like that. It's smart too, I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise, but how could I not at that price? $25 Canadian, but the current exchange from $20 US to CAD is like $25.30 so BAM!!! Saved 30 cents!!

Alive on PC. Consoles? Not so much.
