Why haven't consoles multiplayer combined?

I look forward to some planetary bombardment. The tears of console gamers shall be delicious. > : )

Don't forget that the console gamers are supposed to get a weapon to blast ships in orbit, too.

Hopefully as Dust 514 ages we'll be able to actually use stuff like missiles and doomsday weapons instead of just 1 specific gun.

Well, remember that none of that stuff has the range for planetary assualt. The planet may look close, but it's at least an order of magnitude farther away than the range of any ship to ship weapon.
