Considering the Elder Scrolls games have been playable on consoles ever since Morrowind...is it really such a stretch to imagine the MMO version being on a console? I've seen gameplay footage from the PC and it still looked good. It's already different than your typical mmo with left mouse controlling your attacks (hold to heavy attack) and right mouse for blocking. There are only I *think* 5 or so hotkey attacks that you can use at any one time (regardless, it's a limited number of powers you can have hotkeyed at one time). They can be swapped out for any other 5 abilities you possess. In single player elder scrolls you essentially had those attacks already on the controller. The only issue with dumbing down you'll run into is if console players need to "speak" with pc players (lacking a keyboard).

Also, there are a lot of reviews out there from people who have played the game. So, to say there has been no gameplay testing by media reviewers is just incorrect.
