...it's not in the plans, they've gone over this quite a few times and anything said by Nathan Richardsson in the past should be ignored. He is no longer the executive producer and a lot of the things he said did not happen.

Arsenic is correct, I believe there was another article stating basically the same thing but when it was brought to Elizabeth's attention, she had the person who wrote it take it down or some such thing. I don't know... and it's very possible they don't know either.
Those of us who play a lot and who have for a long time now, would like the game to have a fighting chance at staying relevant.
Furthermore, and as consoles start moving into the generation of development, the way to get the game to continue as a franchise is to see it available on newer consoles so it doesn't get left in the 'dustbin of history' any sooner than is avoidable.
As such, it's on topic to drag the game forward, no matter how much the powers-that-be wish to resist the future.
A_T is correct, of course, but there are few avenues besides telepathy to get a message to Trion, and this is one.
There are more people using XBox360 and PS3 than XBox One and PS4. With the current state of things and the current economic market (especially for game development), it would not make sense to spend the enormous amount of money on development to port the game to the newer consoles. It would simply be a money sink for no real gains. You can keep telling yourself that it would keep the game relevant, but it wouldn't. The numbers simply aren't there yet. Maybe one to two years down the road it would make sense, but not now. There simply isn't enough market saturation.
I wouldn't expect this to cross over to Xbox1 or PS4 till season 3.
Of course there will be season 2 stuff. So far we only know of one crossover - a human character called Barth who is in both show and game (or at least his voice is).
I keep saying this over and over again, it`s much easier now to port the game from the PC to PS4 or XBOX1 because the arquitecture of both consoles is the same of the PC`s. There is no more excuses that programing to Playstation is VERY HARD.
I would play it on PS4, don`t really know how much longer i can stand the tremendous lag, disconections every 5/10 minutes...my patience is starting to ware of.
I would even pay an upgrade fee like i did for COD Ghosts to play on PS4.
PS4 $650
Comp with far better stats $330.
You do the math ;)
