Well, I understand that means you’ll be playing an inferior version; possibly no mods\* and lower end graphics. I’ll quote someone from the Skyrim thread whose played both versions:

I saw a noticeable improvement in graphics on the PC, and also load times were much faster. The actual gameplay is better to. I can’t hit a moving target with a bow to save my life on the console. I think just having more keys to hit helps immensely.
