Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

Uh, you got a link to back that up?

It has been said since the beta of 2.0 that PS3 would be dropped at some point.

Though "soon" might be overestimating it, I remember (no source found for now, that was before 3.0 comes) that Yoshida said PS3 would probably not see 4.0 (as in, 4.0 won't be available for PS3), and then the support would be dropped a while later, to let people transition.

Anyway, PS3 has still more than a year left on FFxiv, prolly more than 2 years even.
