It is official, Bethesda announced today that console versions of ESO will not be released in June as planned; they will be delayed six months.
'We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been progressing steadily, but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms. Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer’s networks—which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other—has been a challenging process. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn’t going to be possible. Though we have made great progress, we have concluded that we’ll need about six months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.'

The post also discusses a 'special offer' for fans that want to purchase the computer version and transfer characters to the console version when it is released later this year. You can read the official announcement here.
This news is disheartening for PC and console gamers alike. PC gamers have expressed frustration on the ESO Forums. Some feel that Bethesda and Zenimax are using them to beta test an incomplete game while demanding subscription fees. The delayed release also adds weight to the argument that Zenimax released an incomplete, bug-ridden game before it was ready to go live.
