PS3 is only a few hundred $. If you don't have that you need to pick up a job and put down the games! |

telling consolehaters to buy an console
Smart like insisting something developed specifically for a console should be put on PC because a few people 'prefer PCs'?

It has to be a console to work, so either buy one and HTFU or quit yer bitchin. |

that is all.
Many already agreed, im doing the same.
Even if i have a xbox360 myself, shooters = PC, that is all.
Cool story bro, but there is plenty of actual data out there stating otherwise.
Let's take a look at Call of Duty Black Ops Sales by gaming platform. (COD Black Ops is the highest selling COD title to date and I believe COD is the most successful FPS gaming series but I didn't actually check that, I think we can all agree it's in the top 2 or 3).
PC Sales: 1.32 million
PS3 Sales: 11.23 million
XBOX Sales: 13.25 million
We can clearly see that console sales outpaced PC sales in our example by about 18.5 to 1. Even if you want to get technical and disregard your argument of console vs PC and just call it PS3 vs. PC you are still at an 8.5 to 1 sales rate.

No we don't care, and CCP doesn't either because they have probably taken a look at some actual data as we just did and saw that consoles are the way to go regardless of whether you personally like them or not.

Fixed it for you.

Again, you can whine all you want. It's not going to change anything.

Good night, good fight!
I'd be willing to bet you don't know the first thing about marketing seeing as you couldn't do some very simple market research that would show you that your premise is completely off base. Bonus points for misspelling disaster while trying to suggest that someone with a different viewpoint is lacking some basic knowledge from grade school.
One last thing before I GN and GF.
There are around 60,000 planets in the EVE universe. Even if you take out the ones that aren't theoretically able to have mercs on them you are left with over 40,000 planets. If I recall correctly the most people ever on Tranquility at once was around 60,000. So even on a good day, you only have about 1.5 people per planet. Pretty sure you can't fight yourself, as it would ruin the gaming experience. This thing has to be on PS3 (or XBOX but they wouldn't do it) in order to have a big enough player base to fill the planets and make it work.
TL:DR
If you do a little bit of research or use a little bit of deductive reasoning and common sense you can figure out that not only will putting DUST on the PS3 not kill the game, it is the only way it could work.

I feel like I just went over this a couple pages ago but since you seem to be extra slow we'll cover it again.
First, people use PCs for more than FPS games. I think this is where your logic (or lack thereof) steered you wrong. You need to be looking at FPS sales by platform.
http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php
Check there for video game sales. You will see that the highest performing FPS game on the list is Call of Duty Black Ops.
COD Black Ops Sales:
Xbox: 13.25 million
PS3: 11.23 million
PC: 1.32 million
Consoles outsold PC by about 18 to 1.
Next most successful FPS game would be COD Modern Warfare 2. Those sales figures are as follows:
Xbox: 12.67 million
PS3: 9.77 million
PC: 65 thousand
Consoles outsold PC by 34 to 1.
This type of sales gap repeats itself with any major FPS title. Anybody that tries to infer CCP is going after a smaller FPS audience by going with a console over PC couldn't be any more incorrect. |

any idea as to when beta keys will go out???
Even a, "in the next few weeks, or a few days" will do for an answer! The silence from you about this is very frustrating.
I could empty quote this all day.... |
