Not really. In fact compression functions for textures are being improved all the time, not due to disc space reasons, but to keep transfer times and memory consumption to a bare minimum. In fact a major disadvantage for the PS-3 is the cell. While the PPE is more or less like a Core of the Xenon (although only one instead of two AltiVec Units), but its SPEs need much more work. Either you use them with high level functions in a rather ineffective way, or the developers have a lot of work at their hands, to even try some "improvements". This will be a major factor for the development costs on the PS-3.
