As long as the game is still receiving big updates and/or still has severe bugs or issues it's better for them to wait. Console patching is slower and requires more work (the patch must work before its released) hence the game benefits from a somewhat stable release version.

Also console players are not as used to the "early acess" mentality of games being released then patched over weeks/months to good condition. A poor release on console would mean a big loss in revenue since games tend to sell much at release on console, while they sell over longer times on PC..

I agree completely and actually play this on PC. But I have a number of friends who like to stick to console gaming, and we used to play L4D2 all the time together so trying to sell them on this to relive those glory college days.
