    They might drop PS3 at or around the first expansion's release, depending on if the PS3 can still handle the game (I don't think it's nescesarrily processing power either, more of a RAM issue since the PS3 only has 2 sets of unshared 256MB RAM [256 for the CPU and 256 for the GPU]. It has to dump and load so much data compared to a PC with even 2GB of RAM and 512 on the GPU. HDD speed could also be a problem, 5400RPM isn't too great, heard sticking an SSD in greatly alleviates load times for XIV on PS3). I hope they keep it up after the expansion though, my laptop can sort of run the game, but the GPU isn't good enough to keep a steady framerate over 24FPS (20ish in unpopulated zones with few models being drawn at lowest settings and model draw limit at minimum, 12-14 in like Mor Dhona. Did Titan normal on one of my alts last night, 4 people + titan + 2 summons (e-carby and my eos) framerate was worse than in Mor Dhona likely because of the stage effects. Cleared without issue, but still, can't imagine doing CT or anything on my laptop unless Nvidia works some magic for the 310m or SE allows PC to look worse and let us turn off shadows).
