CCP has made clear that they intend to keep developing for the PS3 until it is no longer feasible, and I expect this to go on for at least another year. Next Fanfest will likely announce plans to move to a different platform; Sony has specifically stated that they plan to stop support for the PS3 this year (I can provide link) and by next year the PS4 will be halfway through its console cycle. Development for anything on Sony's consoles takes longer due to QA Processes and a slew of other factors I'm sure that we don't know about. In addition, going to PC allows the use of test servers and a whole bunch of other things.
Even upping system memory by an average of 1600% (256mb to 4gb) for a Windows 7 system would help alleviate MANY problems and give devs much more room to work with.

TLDR: PC is the best option for now.

Where'd you get the info that Sony's pulling the plug on ps3? EA and several others have games coming out for the next 12 months Sony said it would support the ps3 until it wasn't profitable. The last I read we have no worries in losing it till 2017 at the earliest. PS forums.

Abiding by Sony and Epics regulations for updates/expansion. PC Port = CCP being able to do pretty much what they want on a system thats in more homes than PS4 consoles. Easier connection between EVE, 600,000 EVE subscribers already familiar with CCP who see consoles as a stepdown and so wont buy one. PC makes more sense and will allow more freedom for CCP to develop it in the long run. Developing for consoles can be a pain whereas with a PC pretty much anyone with half decent coding experience can release a game and distribute it You've got it backwards. The console is where Dust has a playerbase. Also, I see you are still prone to pulling stuff wayyyyyyyyy out of your arse. A better game would lead to a larger playerbase, PC would lead to a better game. +20 Million SP Merc Caldari Loyalist Of course we won, now when do I get paid?
