No, actually the concept of a cross platform gaming world is brilliant.
If you don't want to deal with ground forces trying to take your planets, stop them in space before they get there.
If you can't stop them in space, pay some isk to make your contract look more attractive to the DUST players than your opponent... and get them better equipment and weaponry to use while you are at it.
If you must have more control over the battle (or are too cheap to shell out the isk to ensure victory), get the sizable portion of your alliance that DO own the console game to select your planets personal slice of FPS action out of the contracts menu and fight for you directly.
Frankly this is not only ground breaking on oh-so-many levels, vastly superior to the mindless grind that Sov warfare has become in EVE. I mean really, think about it. Which is more fun? Fast paced, in your face combat to secure SOV... or sitting like zombies watching the pretty gun graphics blast away hour after hour.
I don't currently own a console, and I'm not sure I'll get one for DUST. I'll probably just concentrate on blowing up my adversaries before they get a toe hold they could launch troops from. Even so, not having to deal with the current POS bashing SOV mechanics is a godsend.

t's an awful idea that only Sony could come up with. Whomever thought linking this with EVE was a great idea should be fired. If Hillmar thinks this is great for EVE, he's clearly lost it and should resign. Nothing good is going to come of this.
Nice rebuttal, you completely shredded my observations with well thought out arguments.
Well done.

Its not an expansion okay? Its a new paradigm.
Experience the synergy.
If it's linked to EVE, if it's part of this same MMO in any way, it's an expansion.
That is, of course, incorrect.

it's not like consoles don't control the majority of the gaming market. ccp would have to be terrible business men to want to get in on that part of the market
lol, this may be true... but name a successful console only mmo.
probably why they are making a fps 
In that same vein, name a successful mmo that doesn't shard their universe. Or one that has show continuous, strong growth for over 6 years. Oh wait, there is one. And it is made by the same company that is attempting to develop a revolutionary FPS that ties into a persistent (and successful) MMO.
Point being, it would probably be unwise to compare the track record of other console games to DUST, or draw any predictions about how well it will do from that. It looks to be an entirely new breed, and all bets are off.
The fact is CCP has a track record of taking concepts that were previously thought to be impractical, and not only making the concept work, but making it financially successful.
