But isn't that an even bigger case of creating a system with expansion issues?

it seems like every problem with it comes down to stuff they have a hard time fixing because they'd failed to anticipate easily predictable stuff.

Well easily predictable does seem harsh to me, but to be honest with you, I agree completely it does seem like things could have been predicted better. We don't really know the circumstances at the time though and the original game (2010) didn't have glamours and I don't know if that was a big thing in many games back then (I don't play other MMOs), but even with the relaunch in 2013, they were likely under a lot of pressure to get a decent game out ASAP and maybe corners were cut to meet deadlines or maybe the PS3 really is that limited.

I've never written anything for a PS3, so I'm not really familiar with its limitations, but it does seem that although initially one of its strengths was to have multiple platform support, it does seem to be biting us now.

YoshiP has already indicated that PS3 support will more than likely end with 4.0 so I do not really see this as an issue.

That doesn't necessarily mean playing on a PS3 will stop immediately though, only that whenever support is dropped, it'll be unlikely there will be any future expansions. So we might get some cool stuff in expansion packs, but the limitations imposed onto the core system of how things work would likely remain for quite some time after. As long as they have a high number of subscribers playing (and paying) on PS3, I can't see them really willing to terminate them.
