I guess I would be happy even if it's on android...the platform means nothing at this point, even for me, always pushing for a PS4 port.
I mean... we need a port, the platform is a secondary problem imo

The question is really whether or not it will also be for PS4. Several other F2P games pull off multi-platform communities by separating the platforms into their own "shards".
Some players have pointed out how this would remove one of the things that made DUST 514 special compared to other MMOFPS games: a single shard game connected to Eve Online via PC and FW. They aren't completely wrong, but if the options are:
1.) Keep Dust unique, but lose the console players
or
2.) Allow the Eve link to weaken, but include the console players who helped build this game
I will choose 2 every time.
If Valkyrie and Gunjack taught us anything it's that CCP is no longer afraid of creating games that exist in the New Eden universe but do not directly effect Eve Online. I think they plan on making the Eve link a tertiary "nice to have" feature now. Their goal would instead be to have a large playerbase to enjoy their game; a PC/PS4 port would accomplish that.
Warthunder has shared gameplay, and it's working fine imo (still, I haven't tried the ps4 version). If the game is well balanced not only within its platform, but also towards other platforms, I can't see any problem.
Be aware, I'm not saying it's going to be easy, especially if we're talking about an fps: thee should be an extra eye on cheating and a slightly different definition of what is considered "cheating" that would probably upset many in the PC community but I believe it can be done.
There are many variables at this point, it's almost useless even to talk about this: if it's going to be a "lobby shooter" like Dust, PC/PS4 cross gaming is going to be a pain for console users, but this problem would somehow be less important if it's going to be an open world-ish game. Just to name one of the many issues that comes in my mind.
Or the other way around, if Aim Assist is too strong for console users, it's going to break the experience for PC players.

For all we know the PC system would be scrapped due to the reasons you mentioned. Being able to capture and own territory is a fundamental feature of New Eden as a whole. If you remove that entirely, you'd take with it one of the motivations for playing the game in the first place. If you rebuild a new system, how do you account for the player split?
I personally would at least try to merge the two communities, at least for a beta/alpha stage. For the simple reason that this way the game itself would acquire value towards any other game on the market.
