But I do agree PS needs to be scalable so a lot of people can play it without needing a ton of upgrades

Nah I had a crappy integrated card an it still ran WoW fine way back then except for some stuttering in the cities. They actually updated WoW graphics some over the years slightly. Blizzard just doesn't make games that demand much of your hardware. I mean look at Diablo 3. It looks like a PSP game to me.
But yeah hopefully SOE learned from the original Planetside an will work harder to optimize an make the game perform well in big battles. Making a game look good without actually using more hardware is an art form an hopefully they are good at it.
