Wish i could muster even a tad bit of optimism at this point. I'm personally just waiting for them to formally announce they have officially tapped out.
The second we see the announcement for the next Fallout game is when they will be done with Skyrim, broken or not.
There will be no official announcements, just quiet abandon and ignoring. The PS3 issues section of the forum will eventually get one or two posts by Gstaff letting people know that the programmers have all moved on to other projects, and that will be it.
That is how they have done it with every single other title they have released for the PS3. They just gave up and left them broken.
Of course, they will still have the audacity to release a GOTY, Ultimate Edition, or some other money grab. Still broken of course, but they have all the DLC included! That brings the question, how will they do that with the PS3 version of Skyrim if there is no DLC?
