If console gaming is dying, and Dust is exclusive to PS3 Console, do we have a problem?

The main bulk of that article is saying that dedicated consoles are not doing as well as they used to, which is hardly a surprise to most people and, in the specific case of the Sony Playstation series of consoles, has been carefully considered and taken in to account since before the development of the PS3.
The article also makes note of many things that any respectable forward thinking company has known about, and planned around for at least the last 5 years, that more social interaction, ease of use and game prices are all factors to be looked at carefully. In the case of DUST 514, not only does it have something unique to appeal to people, but it is a free to play micro-transaction based game, which as the author of that article points out is a big draw of things like Farmville etc.
In short, I see no reason for CCP to be in anyway concerned about the future of either consoles themselves, nor of DUST 514 as a product. As they know very well, things change, but that does not mean they fade away. ISD Type40 Lt. Commander Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

Aside from media bias in always reporting things to be a catastrophe, console gaming is still far more popular than PC gaming. After Dust breaks, and becomes a big hit, I expect you to come back here and recant your doomsaying. |

Apparently you missed Halo 4 coming out. It's awesome. A lot of people are playing... think this is the biggest Halo ever. If console gaming were dying, I don't think Halo 4 would be able to out-do every previous Halo. I play a lot of console games too... it's just a different market. We in EvE are so far removed from the console experience it might be hard to see... DUST was never designed for "us"... it's for the console crowd. DUST has plenty to worry about but the platform ain't it.
I still hope DUST works... just hard to stay excited when I just got H4 in my hands.

Console Gaming isn't dead. A bunch of games just came out. and are STILL coming out. Ac3, Halo 4, Borderlands, Dishonored, and not to mention we are still waiting on black ops 2. They're mostly talking about the WiiU. The new console I knew was going to flop.
If anything, CCP should be worried about the ps4 being released. It's been announced. |

PS3 and xbox 360 are reaching the end of their lifecycle, hth
also PC games have to rely on stuff like kickstarter, while franchises like COD and Halo literally have bigger production budgets then blockbuster hollywood movies |

People are tired of the crap the developers pull with these console games. Put out a half done product, then sell the other half and call it "Downloadable Content". It's pure greed. It's why I stopped playing consoles. Hell with MMORPGs at least you're actually paying for something (server upkeep patches, new content, etc). |

I wonder if we'll see these articles next year when the PS4 and next Xbox hopefully hit stores. Hell, I wonder if we'll see these after the WiiU comes out.

More people have smart phones, therefore more people are playing games on their smart phones. Ergo, console gaming must be dying, right? |

Considering what happen to the playstation network a year ago i think releasing anything on PS3 is a bad idea.
though seeing they are, i dont see how a PC release could effect DUST in a negative way. |

I've been saying this for years.
Consoles originally hit the scene because computers were ridiculously expensive. As it becomes cheaper to own a good computer, consoles have less reason to exist. "It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it." ~William Maugham |

No. It has been stated before.
CCP is aware there is a PS4 on the horizon.
Many people I spoke with at Fanfest 2012 indicated Dust will continue to work on the Next Playstation System after the PS3 is gone.
That is the beauty of a Free to play Downloaded from PSN Game. Not Tied to a Disk, or specific Hardware.
CCP is working With SONY on DUST514, so there are likely in the loop on what the new hardware is going to look like and ensure future compatability.
