I played some of this on PC when it came out (as did CAG Phoenix, BlameItOnGod, Wildw3st). I'm not sure if I would resub (assuming they keep it subscription based) but I might for one month if that's required to transfer my characters/stuff to the Xbox. If it was free to play, then I would definitely be playing it. Gamestop still has it listed as releasing on New Year's Eve but it will likely get pushed out a little farther.

The Elder Scrolls Online is currently playable on PS4 and Xbox One, but "there's still some work to do", according to the game's director.
In a new blog post, Matt Firor explains development is progressing but the team wants to launch the title with both the upcoming Justice and Champion systems already implemented. As they're not due to enter testing on the PC version until January, it's likely we're going to be waiting a little longer.
"We have been (and will continue to be) steadily working on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of ESO," he writes. "They are playable and fun right now, but there's still some work to do before we can set an official launch date. First and foremost, we want to make sure that two of our most important systems still in development—the Justice and Champion Systems—are included in the console release. Those two systems will introduce a huge amount of content to the game, and we know everyone is looking forward to the new types of gameplay they provide.
"It’s also important to note that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of ESO are not just ports of the PC/Mac game. We have completely replaced the PC user interface with a console-specific UI designed from the ground-up with a controller and a living room play experience in mind. We’ve also added voice chat and full integration with XBL and PSN. Expect to see lots of news about our console versions in early 2015."
Elsewhere in the post, Firor elaborates on what to expect in January's Update 6, explaining the Champion System will revamp the endgame content of the MMO, while the Justice System will be rolled out in phases. The first phase, coming early next year, will be Skyrim-esque in that you'll be able to pickpocket and kill NPCs with guards punishing you for such acts, while the PvP elements will come somewhere down the line once developer Zenimax is sure everything's working as intended.
The PS4 and Xbox One versions of the MMO were supposed to hit this year,but were delayed. We recently pondered whether or not the game should ditch its subscription fee and go free-to-play.
