AoE2 arrived on console years after its PC launch. We're talking about developing AoE 4 at the same time on PC and console. It's a very different scenario.

Also, AoE 2 was the last great Age of Empires games. Mythology was entirely different with the heroes and God powers, and AoE 3 wasn't very good (imho).

Agreed, and that one wasn't even released on console. Entirely possible to screw it up as a PC only release still.

Besides, no console release has been announced for #4 yet, so even if it does eventually come that won't necessarily mean it was being developed for console/PC at the same time.

AoE 2 launched on console in 2002 and AoE 3 launched in 2005, a clear sign that working on that console port damaged the studio .

And we're only talking about an hypothetical launch of AoE 4 on console, we're not suggesting that it will come or anything.
