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.
