Dropping PS3 support would do more harm than good. We already know they will design fights that PS3 can have some issues with, so they are not limiting the future content based on the PS3, although it may limit how much content a particular player on the PS3 may complete. But once again, plenty of casuals who play on PS3 have no issues as they dont care about the Ex fights yet and are fine playing what they do and may leave if forced to spend money on a PC or PS4.

Point is it will not be dropped, but in a few months (say 6, or at 1st expansion) I would not be surprised to see alot of content that will not work well on PS3 and PS3 limitation not being factored in any more to phase out the system without fully dropping support for another say year after that.
Extremes aren't the only issue. I lagged on PS3 on final boss of Dzemael(sp) Darkhold, all of Aurum Vale, all 3 forms of Garuda, last half of Haukke Manor HM, etc. If they were to announce it now for 2015, Christmas would help with retention. PS3 can't handle current content very well. What hope do we have for future content.
