My PS2's dying?!?!  *turns it on to check if it's alive...*  Phew, don't scare me like that!  Well, I know I'm far from done with my PS2, so mine's not dead yet.  Sheesh, if it dies, I'll buy another. :roll:

I know one thing, if you like/love RPG's, there's only one system worth owning this year -Grimgrimoire, Odin Sphere, Persona 3, Soul Nomad, just to name a few- and that's a PS2.(IMHO)

I don't think that the ps2 will die meanwhile there are gamers who play.

Its only natural that the ps2 is coming to its end, with the next gen consoles here the ps2 is having its final charge this year.

I for one play my ps2 much more than i do my 360, i am now currently looking around for ps2 games i missed out on, like Ico and SotC, now that all of the games are cheaper it's great to pick up the games you missed out on.

It is dying but very very slowly.  It still has about another year of good games left on it by my estimates.  The PS1 didn't die for AGES even after the next generation of consoles were in full swing.

I like how it was said above. Yes, it is dying, but slowly. Since it is now, as they say, "last gen", eventually it will be fazed out. But, just remember how long they continued to sell the PlayStation 1 before it was finally done. And people did buy it all the way until the very end. The PlayStation 2 does still have some games coming out for it too. A lot of RPGs if I am not mistaken, but none the less, games that will provide hours of fun, right? So, it still has a while before it's gone. :)

...still waiting for Yakuza 2, maybe the last great PS2 game, but yeah, PS2 is slowly fading away as all the major franchises are appearing exclusive on the new consoles.

Isn't this like the 50th time this topic has been posted? No, the PS2 is not dying. It will not die until people stop playing it. Plain and simple.

It better not die, I just bought mine! I use it because my pc sucks. It will live and even if they do stop making games, you still got a huge library of games for it. It sickens me how all I see in PSM is Ps3 no Ps2.

Lets have a good dose of reason, gentlemen. This forum is titled "PlayStation 2", and people are still talking here. One would assume they are playing their ps2's, if there is conversation going on. Of course, half of that goes on in topics like this one. The ps2 may be limping and hacking up blood, but everyone here is proving that its death is far in the future.

I don't think the ps2 will last much longer. How many highly anticipated PS2 games are there? Sony is shifting their focus onto the ps3, and leaving the ps2.

Is the ps2 dying ? ...... you bet your a** its dying. It will be completely dead by late 08 like the ps1 died cuz of ps2.

The ps3 will drop in price over time and everyone will have one eventually.

whats your opinion??

12 to 18 months the Ps2 will cease 2 exist, the next gen consoles will kill it. Sony will keep it going though 2 make those few extra millions of dollars.

i dont know.....unlike when the ps2 came out, all my friends are saying they are gonna keep the ps2 because they heard so many bad things about the ps3....

so, my theory is that yes, its dying, but a lot slower than normal. which is a good thing.

Kinda hard for something to "die" when it is still selling well and the games are still being bought and sought after.

So, according to that logic, the NES isn't dead yet either. Lots of people play it for nostalgia.

But to answer the question of the original poster, no the PS2 is not dead yet, but will be soon.

Hello to everyone after a long recession from Gamespot!

stfu...why the hell would you care if it's "dying" or not. why the hell does every single person on this forum have to ask about it everytime a next gen console comes out. obviously they'd want to sell the next gen console and games , so eventually they'll stop making games for the ps2.

if you still play ur damn ps2, then its not dying. who cares what other people think, yeah, they'll stop playing it so that means you have to, grow up and make your own damn choices. i'm sick of every single person asking if a console is dying, i dont give a damn if iget banned or modded for this stupid post

Dying? No. But games are slowly no longer going to be made. The console is being phased out. It is only a matter of time. The hardware is obsolete and, bit by bit, developers are turning to the newer hardware to make games for.

The funny thing is that this thread was made over half a year ago and the PS2 is still alive and kicking....
