ummm yes and no though. Yes you couldn't say install FFXI on the Wii because of what you just explained. But we're talking Ps2-> Ps3 here which is completely possible even considering what you said.

You can already play ffxi on the ps3 (I do). The only thing that stops them is things like hardrives n' ram n' such (<-basic) which would go directly to the ps3 anyway. They have the capacity to create more memory than a ps2 can handle program-wise, but they obviously wouldn't because people wouldn't be able to install it. You'd still be able to install it on your ps3 though.
