The only reason I say this is looking at the recent battle in EVE, the largest yet, and looking at the fact that EVE is completely sandbox.

The PS3 is simply not capable of such things. Right now Dust is simply an over complicated version battlefield. Not really because the developers WANT to have preset games, but rather because the PS3 just would not be able to handle having more than 32 players on a district at once, with 12 vehicles, each player and vehicle having unique values that each playstation has to handle. The Playstation's memory just cannot handle it. As well all know the PS3 can barely handle the game as it is, nevermind trying to set in more complicated aspects such as PvE, open world, and god forbid, 64v player games, which is what we all want and kinda promised, but I'm sure CCP just didn't know the limitations of the PS3 when they set out such ideas.

Of course I wouldn't say drop support now, but in a few years, when the PS4 version comes out, and in another year or two, cut the losses, and just drop the PS3 like the dead weight it is to this game.

The PS3 isn't really capable of what we want of this game, and most people know.
