10 year life span ring a bell? He is right. By then the PS2 will be dropped. At least they will slowly discontinue selling PS2's. C'mon that's pretty obvious. By then PS3 will be main goal.

lol consitrate more on the ps 3 what sony first party title is going to the ps 2 instead of the ps 3 this year.

hum what system is home coming out on.

sony is just realeasing the ps 2 still for low buget third party can make cheap games to make some money so they can start making 360 and ps 3 games.

the ps 2 is alive today because sony lets it.

they could have kept the xbox alive for third parties to make games for it. no they wanted as much of a year head start as they could. not letting xbox fans keep there xbox 1 alive so they had to buy a 360.

sony products start to rise (look at the ps 2 sales) when there last gen console fades away slowly. the ps 3 sales spike jumped way up when the ps 1 faded away.

think about it only 20 million wii users. 18 million 360 users, 14 million ps 3 user out there were in the heck are the other 100 million ps 2 user out there still playing there ps 2. not jumping ship yet. ect.

micrsoft was scared to keep on supporting the xbox because most 360 early adapters would have never jump to the 360 so soon but they had no choice because they got rid of the xbox.

i agree the ps2 is coming to its end around 2010, and although sony is keeping its word about the 10yr life cycle of their systems i wish they didnt, seeing how the beginning of the ps3 was a bit shakey... and i foresee a similar topic will come up when the ps4 for is out talking about when the ps3 will go away. However even with the ps2 out the draught of good games for the ps3 is coming to an end, at least for me and my taste of games, so best not to dwell on it.

Some people don't care enough to dump 400 bucks on a system right now and I can perfectly understand that.

just bc games are still being made for the ps2 doesnt mean sony is putting any less effort into the ps3.

It takes considerably more time and work to make a quality ps3 game. Many new ps2 games that are comming out are cheap ports that can be sold to the best selling system of the previous generation.

It just makes sense for sony to keep putting out games if they are cheap to make and can still make a profit. xbox isnt doing this bc theyre "focusing" on 360, theyre not doing it bc xbox didnt sell as many units as ps3.

It really doesn't make a difference.

My guess is whenever the PS2 games and accessories stop making money then they'll discontinue it.

Sony is known for keep improving their system and as long as there are gamers who wants to keep replaying their older PS2 games, PS2 will not die. Not only that, it is still the best selling system: affordable, huge game library, dvd player.

I don't think it's about PS3 games that will affect PS2 sales, but the actually selling price of PS3 console, games, and blu ray movies. If the price is reduced to what an average consumer is paying for a DVD and PS2 games, PS3 will start to become more mainstream.

That's when PS2 will finally be put to rest. So it can be as easy as 3 years if Sony decides to heavily push the PS3.

Why would anyone in there right mind stop selling something that's making them money. You don't through the baby out with the bath water. MS came out with the Xbox and they had a really good thing and could have kept making them and making good money with it. But instead they killed off the Xbox, dumb move on their part. Sony will keep the PS2 going to get their money back from it. When they come out with the PS4 they'll do the same thing with the PS3 as they are doing now for the PS2. Look at how long they kept the PS1 around after releasing the PS2.

Exactly how is sony working on PS2 over PS3? Aside from the baseball and basketball game, what first party title is Sony working on for PS2?

The people who have the power to kill the PS2 are 3rd party developers. They are still making a ton of multiplat games. The only thing Sony has to worry about is making the PS2 hardware......which they are happy too since they make so much money from it.

Sony,themselves, aren't developing any new games for it are they? Their not keeping the system alive, money is. Its a cheap console with a crap load of good games. As far as i know almost all of sony's first party developers are working with either the PS3 or PSP. Sony might cut PS2 from the production line in 2010 but they(and by they i mean retail stores) will probably keep selling PS2 at least till 2012 with online retail selling it for who know how long. You can still get new PS1 and accesories and this is 2008.

Oh yes they do. There have been reports that the PS2 even surpassed the PS3 in sales, during certain months.

no way to treat a good friend guys. Sure the graphics are outdated, but the PS2 was a damn good time. I think I'll hold on to mine until it spontaniously combusts at that ten year mark.

Yup, the PS2 is on its deathbed. That's why at E3, the PS2 was talked about during Sony's presentation almost as much as the PS3 and PSP. The new Lego Batman PS2 bundle is a sure sign of the system's imminent death.

(rolls eyes)

EDIT: What does this have to do with the PS3 again?

PS3 probably won't. Sony will definitely have to focus on PS4 or whatever when MS rolls out a new box in 2011 or 12.
