4. Players will probably have to give up all of their ISK and maybe some of their assets as this would mean the game is starting over. Though some assets like BPOs, Skins, AUR, etc. might still be kept depending on how extensive Dust is changed during the porting process.
5. Many players who were hoping for a PC port will be disappointed.
1. Players will finally have access to the test server since a PC will be able to handle it better.
1. CCP will have to figure out how to transfer ownership of the assets from the PSN account to a PC-based account. They will likely be able to work with Sony on this.
2. Players might not be able to keep everything during the transfer such as their ISK. I'm confident CCP might come up with ways to compensate the players who wish to transfer their assets.
4. Many console players who don't want to own or are not able to afford a PC will not be able to benefit from this and thus become disappointed.
Just speaking on those terms above....
Not necessarily true about giving up assets. There are many games that allow you to keep all of your assets, money, levels, skills, etc. with a simple character transfer. This can easily be done with a simple code they can add in game and upon startup.
A test server may actually be possible with a PS4 console because the technology in them is roughly 8 years ahead of the PS3 and they are in fact closer to the build of a PC than you may realize (especially with the ability to not overheat as badly as PS3 AND some PCs)
And lastly on your points, I believe that people wanting the PC port are FAR fewer than the people who want next gen console port. That is a validated opinion just from what I have seen on various forum posts.

I am not sure anyone addressed this point but....
What makes anyone think that EvE players will automatically pick up a FPS game if Dust is ported to PC? Generally speaking, Eve Pilots play Eve so much because of the ability to multitask and because there is so much to do. It is in no way a FPS game. 
Some would argue they'd try it out maybe for loyalty to CCP, but I don't even think that would bring over a quarter of pilots. Not even the lore would do that.
Also as I have said a few times on previous threads about this; How is someone expected to run two games on their PC at one time (ie: Eve and Dust) both require a certain level of attention, Dust requiring more attention due to it is a full on combat game. Aside from that, not everyone has a PC capable of running two games at once. This is why I think the whole "Eve Pilots would take advantage of this game" argument is a moot point. From where I stand it makes no sense.
