If DUST can run off tears in a similar fashion to EvE, it should be a great success.
As far as PS3 vs 360 goes, I see it a lot like EvE vs WoW. Eve players are generally (and some times unbelievably), mature adults who are willing to invest a good portion of their disposable income into something they like. WoW players are, on average, not nearly as mature or as financially viable, but there are millions of the little troopers.
With the model they've selected, it won't take a WoW style account list for DUST to work on the PS3, as you are already looking at the more "high end" console market. (ps3>360>wii>ps2) If the controller is really what worries you, look here, or here, or even here. Although personally I've always found the PS3 controller to be a better all around game pad, even in FPS's. (And having a PS3 since launch, I've played my fair share of FPS's on my still-running-ps3. Eat that RRoD'thers!)
This is of course ignoring all the crazy requirements that Microsoft puts on the developers for the xbox live. The model CCP wants to use simply would not be financially possible on the 360. If you have an issue with that, contact Microsoft and express your disappointment. I would say that if Microsoft went to CCP and offered what they needed to make it a reality, we wouldn't be creating this river of tears.
Also for the whole "ps3 will die in a few months when ps4 is released trololololololololol"; PS4 is slated until 2014, that's 2 years before any of that matters in the least. However once it is released, your console history should at least point out the PS2 as a fault in your frankly tragic logic. The PS2, by demand, has had a life cycle of 11 years thus far. Assuming the Ps3 can at least reach that, we're looking at ~2017, which would give us 5 years of DUST goodness before CCP would need to get around to porting it to the PS4 - which with the unreal engine and support it gets, should be fairly low-cost.
Truth be said though, If DUST not being on the 360 is the end of the world to you, I'm not even sure if I want to shoot your face off. And I enjoy shooting faces off. ----- Cheesecake, Natures ultimate weapon.
