First mistake was releasing it on PS3.

And no, the PS3 is not a powerful console, hasn't been for years.
They did a pretty good job on optimizing the game for such an ancient console as you say. =p Yeah I do agree eventually it should be phased out... but on PS4, it'll take way too long before it becomes a problem, if at all.
