Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

I bet he can't because SE never said they are dropping it soon.
They think about it, that is all we know. But it is more than save to say, that it won't be during Heavensward.

If they drop the PS3 Support, soonest spot would be with the 4.0 Expansion. That will be around mid of 2017, if HW will last close to two years, like ARR.
