Devs are thinking of dropping the 360 and PS3 versions of pCARS, given that the release date is looking to be around Q2 2014 they'd rather be working more on the next gen consoles (that have a similar architecture to PC) instead of porting everything to the current-gen consoles which ultimately won't handle everything too well. If they drop old-gen consoles they'll also likely drop the DX9 PC mode and go with DX11 only (I think Assetto Corsa also doesn't support DX9 from memory).
There's a dev Q&A thread in progress, after which as always there will be a user poll. I'm still leaning towards no as part of me thinks there should still be plenty of profits from the old consoles, but part of me also thinks the adoption rate of the new consoles will be quicker this time around compared to last time (how many people these days are on top of the latest $600+ smartphone as soon as it's released?)
Originally WMD members would've had to invest more if they wanted next gen profits, but if they kill the two old platforms then we'd automatically get a 35% profit from the new consoles. I'm still trying to work out the maths on that one. At the moment I'm leaning towards voting No (keeping the old consoles), whilst planning on adding a little bit for the new consoles.
According to those in the know, however, the PS4 is going to "sell like hotcakes" and the Xbone is probably going to be bundled with cable TV providers.
I'll probably end up seeing what the senior managers think and may just go along with them.
