Personally I would like to be filled in about the innovations and work being put into the future of this game before I start shoveling money into the furnace.

Anyone else feel this way?

Every dollar spent is a vote to stay on PS3. Unfortunately many would have you believe that it is a vote to go to PS4.

So, do you have a reference you can point me to that with substantiate your claim?

In a market economy, purchases of goods and services are evidence that demand for those items exists among those with liquid wealth. If potential sellers infer from these transactions that such demand will persist, then they may be motivated to provide the same goods in the future and to compete for future sales by attempting to offer such goods at competitive prices.[2][3]

Some economists believe that consumer sovereignty rarely occurs, because these conditions[clarification needed] are rarely met. Rarely do consumers get what they want; consumers get what they are offered.[4] On the other hand, some economists believe that consumer sovereignty would be realized in a free market economy without interference from government or other non-market institutions.[5]

So the simple question becomes why would CCP spend millions of dollars to enter an arena that they have zero guaranteed customer base when we are gladly sitting here telling them we will hang on to our PS3s and keep giving them money. Even getting those of us willing to spend the money on a PS4 would have that spending offset by the purchase of the PS4 itself.

Well stated.

What possible incentive does CCP have to work on a port when players continue to pay for Dust 514 on the current platform? CPM1 informed us that Dust 514 is now a profitable venture for CCP, right? If that is the case then they will provide us with patches and hotfixes at the same tempo we are currently enduring until they are forced to do otherwise. If the profits reach a specific goal then CCP Shanghai might get a new hire or two, but that's it.

When the money printer runs out of ink they will be forced to determine how to turn a profit again, finally realize a port is needed, then work towards that goal.

Also lets not forget that as much as we love the game as-is ...... we are still "missing" vehicle racial variants and the full racial line up of weapons and turrets etc...
