What’s the difference between the PC, 360 and PS3 versions of Skyrim

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I know the game hasn't been released yet, but there has been a freakish amount of press coverage on it, so I was wondering what platform the game would perform best on. As a result, I want to know what the difference is between the different versions of Skyrim.

I want to know not just about the frame rate, stability, and graphics, but also extra functionality from platform specific features (e.g. XBOX achievements, PC only editor like previous Elder Scoll titles).

The PC will support mods:

Bethesda's fifth Elder Scrolls game, like Oblivion before it, will allow for extensive player customization, according to the developer. "We've always been impressed with what the community has done with our tools," a rep for the company said on its forums, revealing, "Like the Elder Scrolls Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion, we plan to release [a] Creation Kit so you guys can mod Skyrim."

The immediate predecessor, Oblivion, has seen countless mods -- everything from new characters to online play. We can only imagine what the Skyrim community will manage to create while we wait for Bethesda to finish the most ambitious Skyrim mod, Fallout 4.

The PC also supports console commands which can be convenient if there is a bug with quest items.

The Xbox 360 has the first 2 DLCs exclusively for 30 days.

As far as I've found all three versions support achievements/trophies.
