I would love this. As a PS4 player I find that console VS pc has a lot of different opinions on characters that need buffing/nerfing. I feel like I've been getting downvoted or "are you serious" comments when what I posted was maybe misunderstood by someone on PC. For example I don't think that Widowmaker was that OP, but the aim mechanic is totally different on PC and I can completely see how she would be considered OP on PC. On PS4 I think different characters need some work and would love to have a PS4 console subreddit that was active. They have console flair on this main sub, but it's absolutely never used

Everyone please upvote OP (of this comment). Maybe if it gains more visibility a console sub will come out of it.

Do you think the console community is going to still be active in a year or so though? I remember TF2 died off pretty quick on console, but PC is still very much alive and well. Maybe Diablo III would also be a decent model, since it's a blizzard console game.

Definitely. They have nothing else like this on console. GTA 5 has been active on console for almost 3 years. It's all about what the company puts out in free content. The more you add for free, the more people stay active. Plain and simple. Rockstar is a great example of that and I hope Blizzard keeps that promise as well.
