PS2 won't kill Dust cause it's already dead, however it will always have better and bigger battles, much larger playerbase, huge maps, better graphics, better vehicle selection, 30 fps is better than Dust ever runs at, etc, etc, etc...
The playerbase of Planetside has been dropping steadily on PC, and will follow a similar arc on PS4 due to Sony's tendency to sabotage their own online games. Planetside's issue is that once the population fall below a certain number, those wonderful big fights just stop happening unless Sony steps in and merges servers. And as Sony merges servers people quit due to increased latency, the initial constant strategy-barren zerging that occurs on an over populated server, and being forced into a new community with an alien meta. Combine that with Sony not releasing content, addressing balance issues, or fixing bugs in a timely manner, and the cycle repeats itself. Last I checked PS2's highest player count for the month was 7720 players, vs 3716 on Dust. Think about that, a "Dead" game on a "Dead" console has half the active population of Planetside 2. The critical point you are missing is that it is the only game of it's kind on console. With nearly eight million PS4's sold it will have a much more active and larger playerbase. PS2 fizzling out on PC is a matter of better games being released for PC, but on the console side of things it will be a major success simply for the uniqueness of the game itself. Planetside is still the only game of its type on PC, and the PC has a very large and active playerbase. Steam reached close to 8 million simultaneous online users yesterday, and that's not counting people who had their computers off, didn't have Steam open, or don't use Steam for gaming. Also, if PS2 fizzled out on PC due to better games, why wouldn't it fizzle out on PS4? Great games are coming for PS4 as well. Planetside is going to be great for about a year, you will have fun. But the same factors that have killed it on PC will kill it on PS4.
that doesn't even come close to League of Legends, that has a whopping 20m players active daily around the world. ;)

Which is confusing because that game is a pile of toss and extremely repetitive.
Its a really simple game as well but there's this belief that it's highly strategic and hard to play.

Actually I'm 27, that might have something to do with it. I played with two buddies who are 'pros' at that shtty game and it was precisely as I stated. Farm a lane Gangk a lane. That or having some annoying **** spamming me because I'm farming their precious lane. Wtf is a bronzie?.
more like invade, farm a lane, ward your lane, gank a lane, dragon, farm lane, go for tower, bait team fight, win team fight, farm lane, gank losing lane, farm lane, go for another tower, dragon, farm, farm, farm, gank another lane, take that lane's tower, farm, dragon, farm, objective, farm, farm, farm, counter jungle, take last front tower, baron, bait team fight at baron, win team fight, take baron, recall, push mid, dragon, push bot, counter jungle, farm, farm, farm, win team fight, get dragon, win.
basic overview, but that's a pretty perfect game. but of course the complications come in when you add in the fact that there are 9 other players on the battlefield at any given time.
