It is insulting as hell to say "this was a PC beta in a console world." Implies "console players just can't handle slow things." Anyway.

DUST declined for many different reasons. The people most interested in New Eden had to purchase a separate system in order to play it, the game does not go as smoothly as something like CoD or Battlefield to snake some customers from that camp, it's launch was damn near no different than the beta considering so much of the game is still missing (Amarr/Minmatar vehicles), massive performance issues such PS3's catching fire, CCP treating the customers poorly (DUST 514 keynote was 22 minutes long and was about an entirely different game), and the game just generally being a slog to play unless you are already invested meaning that new players have little reason to stay around.

It never had a high enough amount of consistent players to really say that the PS4 coming out killed it. This isn't "video killed the radio star", it is "there are healthy people out there to date so you can pass on the person who was born with half a lung and a weak heart who is on life support."

WeGÇÖre not really talking about the migration to specific platforms at this time. What weGÇÖre saying is, PS3 for us today, and for this year and next year, is incredibly important. We look at the installed base on the PS3 now as a first-time console publisher and developer. We see that there may be some unexpected upside on PS3. As people begin to save up their cash to buy that PS4, a free-to-play shooter on PS3 that they can just invest time into, and not that much cash, sounds like a pretty good proposition.GÇ¥
