They told us about Project Legion in 2014, because they were sure that DUST would go to PC, because it was a complete failure on PS3. Now, thanks to Rattati, DUST on the PS3 is not a failure anymore, so now they are not sure anymore. They don't know right now which platform they are going to move DUST to, so they are not saying anything.
They are not talking about a PS4 port, because if they did, and then in the end decided to go with PC instead it would be the Red Wedding all over again. They don't want that, so you will not hear anything about PS4 unless and until they make their final decision to port to PS4. If there is a PS4 announcement, expect to see a fully functional PS4 build ready to play-test when they make the announcement. I am certain they are experimenting with it right now, to determine feasibility. They just aren't talking about it.
As for Project Legion, they went silent and are allowing people to come to the conclusion that it is dead. That way if they decide to go to PS4 it will not be a big shock to the community. And if they decide to go to PC, it will get everyone all excited again when they finally announce it.
What we do know is that DUST 514 is now a profitable game, and CCP intends to continue it on another platformGǪ eventually. I donGÇÖt really expect an announcement until Fan Fest 2016 to be honest. But I do expect the Bata for the new platform to be announced then.

I am also of 2 minds in that the only way for DUST (or whatever they end up calling it) to become the game I want it to be would be to integrate it directly into EVE itself as avatar gameplay.
I know there are certain games aiming at both console and PC like elite Dangerous (which will be XBOX1, mac and PC by the end of the year). I am not sure that console and pc/mac players will actually be able to see each other in game they will certainly affect the same universe data.
So would it be workable to do both and have us melt each other cross platform?
One thing is certain - left on ps3 profitable or not dust is in a dead-end street and the wall at the end is drawing gradually closer.
From what is understand from an interview with a Planetside 2 Dev it is possible for a game to be on both PS4 and PC and have the players on both platforms interact. However, no game has yet done that because it would be difficult to keep the patching of the games in sync on both platforms.
If balance changes were applied to PC and then not applied to PS4 until 2 weeks later, the PC players might have an unfair advantage for 2 weeks.
So, possible, but logistically difficult.
If they port DUST to both PC and PS4 but donGÇÖt have cross platform combat, then maybe assign PS4 and PC Planetary Conquest districts in different regions.

Then why is it still the most lagging game on playstation network?
How many other Playstation games allow you to play with 15 other people, some of which may be on the other side of the planet?

Actually good sir, SquareEnix has been doing this since Day 1 of FFXIV:ARR. All three platforms, PS3,PS4, and PC all play on the same server shards. I have actually partied with friends on the PC while I am playing on my PS4. So entirely possible. 
Had to fix your quotes. You know there is an edit button.
