It's a PS3 game. They are constrained by the limitations of the hardware the PS3 launched with seven years ago, which is a long-ass time ago in terms of Moore's law. So having massive battles, having huge worlds to explore or fight on, these things just aren't going to be possible.

Of course it's going to move to the PC in the future. It is built on the Unreal 3 engine, which clearly has no problem being used for either PC or PS3 games, and it has had keyboard/mouse support for a long time now. The only reason they have to not bring it to the PC is that, right now, they have a game to finish making. But once Dust reaches the "release" point where they have all their launch features in and it stops being in open beta, they'll be able to start making steps toward a PC release. And you can bet that that's exactly what they'll do, because they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing so.

"Actually" you have no idea what CCP will do, but thanks for your guesswork, anyway. The reality is that they wanted to reach a new customer base. They've done it. Porting the game to PC will not change it, and CCP has even dropped hints about that being something they're planning as well (and is why they've gone ahead and added in KB+M support so early on).
So yeah, obviously they'll continue development of the game. And obviously they'll be preparing for the PS4. But you're kidding yourself if you think they aren't going to work toward porting their Unreal 3 engine game with KB+M support already included to the platform CCP is most well-known on. |

None of this is mutually exclusive with porting the game to the PC. |
