Why would anyone still want to use Windows XP or a PS3 if there are far better options like a modern PC!?...

For some people it may be the cost.

Thank you! My budget is really tight right now, and my family's Christmas always seems to come out of my purse. Super...

Even when they do drop PS3 support, I doubt they'll significantly upgrade the game. They want to hang on to as big a share of the PC population as they can - and plenty of people doubtless still play on PCs that are barely better than PS3s in terms of power.

Exactly this. I play regularly with a guy who plays on PC. He has a PS3 in the house, and acknowledges that moving to that would be an UPGRADE - that's how old'n'moldy his PC is - but he can't do it because his family uses it to watch movies while he plays FFXIV. Purchasing a PS4 or upgrading to a decent PC? WELL out of his budget.

FFXIV is not a game being marketed to the bleeding-edge crowd of gamers, like so many other games on the market. Oh, they TRIED to do it that way, in the disaster that was Version 1.0, but they're casting a much wider net now. It's for that reason that I will not be at all shocked if they continue PS3 support even into 4.0.
