"The idea is great and after playing the Dust Beta the FPS is fun but the problem is Dust wont last long unfortunatley. Have you seen the attenton span of console players? Dust bunnies will be off playing some other game within a month that is the reality when it comes to console games and CCP is blind if they dont see this. Hate to burst your dust bubble."

Hate to burst YOUR bubble, Iv'e seen some very mature console gamers, much more than anything Iv'e seen on the forums.
Still, a PS3 is what parents buy to their kids on christmas and then film the crazyness, but the average player age is around 30.
That doesn't mean that they ACT maturely, but still, does anyone in the forums acts like that?

Oh they will help for sure. The problem is that they won't succeed.

Sony as a consumer brand is still reasonably shiny - even though they've lost billions for the last 5 years.

Sony as a gamer brand is "wtf planet are you on?" and will become increasingly irrelevant in the next 12-24 months.

Shame really as Dust/Eve on PC would have made CCP lots more money by now.

And yet easily competes with Microsoft in terms of sales, and the numbers are still growing.
Which also means PS3's outsell gaming PC's because the Xbox does it.
Go back to your cave.

I'm pretty excited to see if you can make a persistent strategic FPS work.

I want to believe.


Except that dust will be "instanced" just like 99% of other fps games on the market.

Weather forecast for FW planets for tomorrow.

Lots of orbital strikes and the occasional flaming destroyer wreck.

Instanced and persistent do not rule each other out. Every battle will have an impact (no matter how small) on the EVE world and the DUST character, which will both be persistent.
