The world is advancing, don't let Dust 514 fall behind.
So the logical conclusion is to make it on another console that in eight years will be replaced (even though the hardware on it is already out-dated) and we'll be right back in the same situation?
Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department?

By that logic the console industry should shut down and everything should be on pc. Console is always outdated but it is what it is, it's not going anywhere (Lol true on many levels).
Not at all... They're not making a game that's entire premise is long-term survivability with a sandbox entirely formed by player decisions. Franchises make sequels, they don't remake an entire game - at least not something as in depth as Eve Online or Dust 514. HD Remaster? Sure. You're just giving new graphics to a game that already exists and they are usually single player. One does not simply "HD Remaster" Dust 514, all the stats and progression of each player, the territories owned by said players, and the impact they've made on the sandbox.
PC is the only place that this kind of game can survive long-term. You can ask the playerbase to shell out $500 every few years in either case... but asking for millions of dollars to remake the game to stay up to date for consoles? Different story.

Moving the goal post, there. Console games generally aren't going for long-term persistence year-long investments into character progression and the like. Even Destiny didn't go in with the intent to last forever with constant updates and expansions, they're at least realistic in the medium they made the game for.
Dust 514? Project Legion? Same philosophy as Eve Online. Online and running as long as they can afford to do it and continually develop for it.
If you can find me one other console game that intended to run indefinitely in this same manner, with or without the consideration that their chosen medium (console) would eventually become outdated and replaced by something better, then we can say "by that logic the console industry should shut down and everything should be on PC".
