Better question: who here purchased anything from the ingame store in the last 2 months?
I'm pretty sure Sony could care less about whether this game succeeds or fails. Your question would be a valid one to CCP though. I have concerns about the game failling less because of combat design and more because of their lack of things to actually sell to make money. Where are the customizables? Where are the vehicle and dropsuit skins? What about Merc quarter and corp HQ decorations?(Along with the ability to walk around in each others areas.) There are tons of things, that don't really affect the play of the game, which could be sold by CCP to folks with too much money, but for some reason they don't do it. I am hoping the new influx of players to Eve because of Dust is enough to keep them sated, because I fear the day the accounting department takes a look at the fiscal "redline" of Dust.

lol, ok I'll bite. Why, exactly? Don't get me wrong, I don't want any of that stuff, but things like that fund the good stuff.

Boosters will always be the primary revenue stream for this game, and they only have a limited amount of time to turn this game around. The income gains from selling pretty suits to a small handful of players won't outweigh the potential income of getting a positive growth in the playerbase and selling boosters--at least in the shorter term.
Maybe in 12-18 months (if DUST is in good shape) they can start to explore ways to extort extra cash from their players through vanity items. I think this game will need at least 10x the playerbase to make such efforts worth while though.
I agree, I'd rather they worked on gameplay, but they won't get the chance if CCP isn't making money. Junk like I mentioned seems a pretty easy way to make some cash. It would just take one guy to start coordinating new color schemes for existing models and sticking them in the store.
