The same amount that it limits licensed games, i.e. not much.

Well, when you consider the only other console that has more than about 88 MB of memory (afaik) is the 360, I doubt memory's going to be much of an issue, since I doubt the PS3 is going to be able to emulate the 360 no matter how much memory the PS3 has.

Also don't forget the PS3 has another 256MB of RSX memory that the SPE's have fast access to. If you're smart about your memory layout you can use that for selected purposes as well, as long as the PPU doesn't need it directly.
