It increases the player-base. PS3 will be phased out soon, and then we'll just be limited by PS4 design, which should be much better. The benefits of a larger player-base certainly outweighs being forced to program around the limitations of the weakest link.

In fact, it encourages tight programming. FFXIV is the smoothest game for its graphics I've played in quite a while.
