PlayStation 3 gamers busy living the Dragonborn lifestyle in Skyrim have voiced concern that the newly announced Hearthfire DLC has been holding up Dawnguard for the platform. Officially Dawnguard is exclusive to Xbox 360 but fans fully expect it will migrate to PS3 soon enough, having already done so for PC. Bethesda clarify Hearthfire is a "separate" parallel project.
