There are a lot of problems inherent with adding even a single new server, not to mention when we've got 19 already. That's a ton of servers for currently not a lot of people. Even with PS3 launch I doubt it would be enough to cause crowding on 19 servers. The problem comes after the 1 month trial period when inevitably a lot of people leave, on any game really. Then you've got a ton of servers, most of which with decent at best populations left.
So merge those servers and give us a fresh batch to start on.

I'm not saying they shouldn't but I don't think they will. I really can't see it being worth much in the long run to SE.
If the new servers are ghosted after a month, it'll be because S-E didn't improve the game enough to be sustainable and FFXIV is dead in the water. I think they'll have much bigger problems when it comes to the "long run."
