I heard about the plans to do something like this a couple years back, and I still think it will be very interesting to see what extent the developers will go to allow the two games to interact.
As was mentioned, EVE players usually game on the PC (and have spent countless hours on EVE), while the consoles will have a completely new customer base. How to connect these two groups to generate an emotional attachment to your objectives will be very interesting to watch.
If it is successful, I can see other companies doing similar things for persistent worlds.
