That worries me because it touches on the common sense of the people who are building this game. There are 80M PS3's out there because the PS4 has not yet been released. The PS4 is debuting at only $399...that is less than new model cellphones when they hit the market. Why does CCP think that people won't buy the PS4? How many people still play on their PS2's??
The PS3 is going to be a dead system in a matter of months and CCP has a few years plan on it? That worries me because how do they not see that pushing for the PS3 is a fail idea? As much as I enjoy dust.....no way will I be unhooking my PS4 and then hooking up my PS3 for a pc match or to cap each week. I won't be getting the PS4 at launch but it won't be too long after that. I'm not going to be going through that trouble of switching systems just to log onto dust. I already have too much congestion with my pc, ps3, Hauppauge, cell phone charger, internet router, etc. I have to use two extension cords......something will give.
the ps2 market thrived for years after the ps3 release... research it.
also, I don't know the numbers, but there is a large group of people (myself included) who don't buy a next gen system the moment it drops, due to many reasons; but the biggest ones are usually money issues, cautious about potential bugs or dev support of new product, and intrest in games still coming out exclusive to the previous generation (like dark souls 2 for this gen)
not to mention the fact that the ps4 hasn't many launch titles to get excited about, with bigger named games not being released till 2014.
the ps3 will still be widely used through at least 2015 and even many gamers who buy next gen will still hold on to their ps3.
I'm sure ccp will move to ps4 sooner than you think, but theres no reason for them to prematurely announce that cross over.
