I'm not arguing which system it came out for first, and if it was made specifically for the PS2, then it shouldn't be the PS2 holding it back. I'm also not saying that XI would last forever on the PS2.

What I am saying is that your suggestion that XIV on PS3 automatically fails because the system is older is irrelevant, because XI survived on the PS2 after the console had become outdated. Regardless of whether the PS2 is no longer supported for XI in the near future does not take away from the fact that it was a successful MMO on that platform.

The PS3 is not yet outdated, even with the announcement of the PS4. It will still be many more years before the PS3 becomes dated enough for XIV to no longer be supported on it, and in that time, it can still have a very successful run.

That, and what is SE going to do, cut out a market of people who want to play it on their PS3? That itself would be something as simple as a horrible business decision.
