So it had been confirmed that Elite Dangerous is coming to Xbox One, no release date has been given yet. PS4 version is coming later, but no announcement about it happening yet.

[quote] Hi everyone,
When asked, I’ve said we’d be mad not to consider bringing Elite: Dangerous to console. Well, that madness is about to end! Today we’re announcing that we will be bringing the full Elite: Dangerous to Xbox One this year. Xbox players have supported Frontier well over the years, and thanks to games like Zoo Tycoon and ScreamRide we know the hardware well, so Xbox One is a natural fit for Elite: Dangerous’ console debut.
Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One will be the complete and authentic Elite: Dangerous experience. It will not be "dumbed down". We’ll be working with an all-new audience, but that doesn’t mean a change in direction for the game, and nor does it mean slowing development on the PC version. The second of our updates – Wings – is being beta tested by some of you right now, and the third will be coming in the spring, free of charge. We’ll be talking more about the third major update – Powerplay – soon!
More players across more formats means we can devote more resources to development. The more players we have, the better the game will become. Elite: Dangerous is a living game and it will keep growing on all our formats so long as people are excited to play it.
I’m also pleased to announce PC, Mac and Xbox One players will all share the same overarching narrative and galaxy state. That means even more players contributing to the wars, power struggles and Community Goals across the galaxy.
If you want to keep up to date on our Xbox One release you can sign up to be kept informed athttp://www.elitedangerous.com/xboxone .
With the new Mac and Xbox One players joining us we’ll see new faces on the forums and we hope you’ll make them feel welcome. The Elite: Dangerous community has always been strong, and I’m sure it’ll be even stronger the more it grows.
Thanks for playing, and Right On, Commanders.

This is really exciting news for me, I'm just hoping PS4 gets an announcement soon.
What are your thoughts about it coming to consoles?

It is only coming to Xbox One console. No PS4 version. Exclusive deal with MS. Sorry...
-
Dang it. I just bought this for the PC. I'd much prefer it for the console (because of the controls), but I don't want to spend more money

Its a little concerning to see zero mention or indication of the PS4. Btw I made a thread about this 3 hours ago 😜

It looks like a game I could sink some time into

I couldn't imagine playing that game with a controller. I do have it. Haven't played it in a long time though.
