Is an XBOX/PS4 version ever going to be a thing?

I see a topic posted a year ago about this but it's more relevant now especially after Stellaris released a successful console port.

I've played Stellaris and while I think the console compatibility is absolutely amazing, I think Endless Space has a much simpler interface and much more immersive gameplay (i.e. battle scenes and other cutscenes) which makes it superior to Stellaris for consoles.

Honestly with my current setup I wish it were the other way around where I can play Stellaris on my PC for depth and then switch to Endless Space on a console when I want a more relaxing game session.

While certainly (and demonstrably) possible, playing 4X games with a controller is...suboptimal, let's say.

Its not rts.. its can be playable.. and lots of players have mouse

Who said it wouldn't be "playable"? But I've played 4X games with a controller, and it IS a pain in the butt.

If you played a 4x with a controller on PC, then yes, the controls aren't exactly great, however, when the control scheme and interface is made for console, it's actually quite nice, same with any RTS or TBS

I wonder if you can give good advice on a three and a half year old thread, not even owning the game it refers to...
