The Primary Target Playerbase and the overwhelming majority of the fanbase are not computer gamers... so would it make sense for them to not have a console focus?

True while mmos are primarily PC that player base was also the lowest on the totem pole for the target market based off what they said in the press release pre-launch.

That and what is more likly a person having a PC strong enough to play the game or someone having a PS3... crap it is a higher chance of people having the PS3 then a computer that plays any new games let alone XIV.

In terms of target audience, and potential players... focusing on the PS3 opens you up to a much much larger playerbase then focusing on a PC... which is already flooded with mmos with a much much smaller base to begin with.
