One thing I'm curious about is why don't console games support console commands? Aside from modding, I don't think I could have enjoyed Skyrim as much if I didn't have the ability to fix glitched quests, objects, NPCs, and so on, through console commands. I'm guessing it has to do with achievements/trophies, but couldn't it just disable achievements with console commands turned on (not to mention that Steam games have achievements despite having access to console commands)?  Or perhaps it's because Sony and Microsoft are trying to prevent gamers from accidentally messing up their consoles or saves?  I don't know, but having access to these commands are what will always point me towards PC for particular games (e.g., open-world RPGs).
