64-player multiplayer isn't coming to consoles because consoles are dated and cannot handle that many players.

Even if the consoles version will not be as good as the PC version, note that it's being done as not to cheat the PC community who have much better technological capabilities. Also, since it's being built for PC and ported to console, it will probably be much batter than any other console game out there.

They're pushing consoles to their absolute limit.
