I'd say they could limit the player count significantly and make much smaller maps, but really that's no different from frontlines. If they do cut of PS3 they'd also be cutting off low end PCs from doing such content without FPS drops, so it's a gamble.

With all the work it would take to develop a massive map it wouldn't be worth it, considering how much the FFXIV community seems to dislike PvP.
