The PS3 is static hardware, and this MMO will likely run for more than 10 years. So anything they want to add 10 years from now will have to be able to run on PS3. So the size/quantity of content could end up being limited by it.

People aren't just concerned for no reason. This very situation is playing out in FFXI. The FFXI devs recently added an option to toggle display of people's armor, not so you could pretend you're wearing X-Ray specs and see everyone in their underwear, but because the PS2 can't handle displaying all the armor in the game. They are constantly having to spend time trying to make it so any new thing they add doesn't set PS2s on fire.
