Why not on PSN?
Why is Oblivion no longer on the PSN?

Not sure if it's been confirmed why or why not, but given that Bethesda was (somewhat) recently acquired by Microsoft, that would be my guess. I also think it's safe to assume the TES6 will no be on Playstation, but who knows.

See that would have made sense, but Skyrim, TESO and Fallout are still on PSN.

It's been announced that TES6 will not be on Playstation, nor will Starfield, and it seems likely Fallout 5 (when and if it ever happens) will feature a similar XBox/PC exclusivity.

It seems like Microsoft is trying to quash competition in the console market by buying out franchises that traditionally get people to upgrade hardware in order to play. I know a lot of people who won't bother with Playstation anymore entirely because Bethesda has been walled off from it.

Again, Skyrim, TESO and Fallout 4 are still on it.

well, why wouldn't they? Already released, and TESO isn't as full a beth game as regular TES games as it's made by someone else...

Fallout 4 and Skyrim will most likely be in a contracted time, signed before microsoft acquired them (Likely when the CC content was released) thus will remain for whatever period it was signed for. What happens after that is unknown.

debatable, and purely opinion... There will be people who prefer it on a console.

It's not opinion, it's an objective fact. The pc versions have been proven to have far less bugs, as well as better performance, textures and mods. Console versions could have been better, and they are for other games, but not these.

it's not fact though. There's plenty of mods on the xbox variant, PS as the thread is about, are not applicable to that, as it's not the game's fault but sony's limitations
Better performance is also debatable, given the PC was dumbed down to allow the consoles to run it.. The games these days are more PC ports from console, not the other way round.
