DayZ creater Dean Hall was interviewed recently where he talked about what the Standalone meant in terms of hacking among other things and how working on it has lead to the possibility of a Console version of the game to come. A console version isn't being developed yet as they're trying to nail down the formula on PC first and then port it over but he showed strong posibilities towards it
"Certainly I think if we don't, for want of a better word 'fvck up,' the PC release then I would say a console port is almost certain," But what consoles would be likely to see a DayZ title in the future? At the moment it seems like the PS4 may be the leading candidate. "It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in, I think we just have to wait and see," he continued. "We've talked and met with Sony, and they're very - you know, they're obviously interested."

Personally I think it would be great. I'm not a fan of such great games and experiences being limited to one platform and the new changes to DayZ in the standalone could easily work on consoles I think. Not current ones but next gen ones. Not sure what interest console gamers as a whole have in the game though, going by here it's just a stupid PC MMO garbage game but then again, relying on SW for impressions of a gaming community is not very smart
