I do think that the PS2 is a legacy system. Its not the all time greatest system but it rivals the best.

I do think the PS2 is a legacy system, technically, but I also think it's still alive enough to have it's own board stil.

ps2 isnt that old yet as isnt gc ,, or xbox,, theres no need for it to be called a classic just yet ,, it has to be 10 yrs old to be even considered classic, that wont be until 2011 ,, so ya , technically it can be called legacy going by gamespots forum but in reality its not as classic as ps1 or n64 just yet, plus they still sell ps2s im willing to bet sony will keep ps2 going strong well into 2011 ,, when ps4 and 3 is out that will be bad though as seen many of times when sega has had 3 consecetve systems or add-ons or so they call em just come out one after another thats bad marketing i hope ps2 goes out after this year , but again im willing to bet sony makes that mistake

The PS2 is a legacy system. Even though it is still selling well, the number of games being released for has taken a dramatic nose dive. Just remember how long the PS1 was being sold after the PS2 came out. It was considered a legacy system for quite awhile before they stopped shipping them new.

Basically, all previous gen system are classified as legacy consoles. All have had an effect on the state of gaming as it now exists. I do agree that the PS2, Xbox and GameCube systems should still have their own boards, though.

PS2 outsold the PS3, 360, and PSP in the month of February. I don't know why it's been regulated the legacy platforms, when it is still alive!!!!!

Leg·a·cy (adjective)

Definition: Outdated or discontinued: Associated with something that is outdated or discontinued.

"Legacy Platform" does not seem to me a very fitting label for the Ps2, it is neither outdated nor discontinued. Not only are new games continuing to be released for the system, but the hardware itself is still being manufactured and undergoing new revisions.

PS2 is last generation. The concept of this board is consoles that aren't current generation. Whatever you call it, the PS2 belongs here.

This is basically the PS2 board now anyway.

The way the PS2 is selling it's not a legacy yet and when it is finally discontinued it could become a legend at that time with the number of games it has and the lenth of time it has been selling and still is selling.

To me the PS2 is like Ric Flair. Still able to entertain although getting older, and already a hall of famer although still active. I also don't understand why they would remove the PS2 board. That was basically ignorant.

the PS2 is still strong and there is no sign of it slowing up anytime soon. Its more popular than the PS3! Also, it is the best-selling video game console to date, selling over 120 million consoles, while the original xbox has sold around 24 million. I don't think the PS2 will ever die at this rate. Also, I'm pretty sure that the best selling version of Guitar hero 3 was the one PS2 Version. At this rate, the PS2 will never die.

Not until it is completely dead. It's still going, with new releases. After publishers stop, it becomes a Legacy System.

Nope, it's still very much a relevant and clearly significant platform. It still sells new systems in large numbers, and new games are still being released on a frequent basis, and a number of those games have done very well commercially.

Consumers and Developers clearly care a great deal for new PS2 content.
It's slowing down, but hasn't by any means even begun it's death phase.

No, because if it's a legacy system, it would not be in production anymore plus there's still a lot of games being released on the PS2. It is suitable as a current-gen platform the rest being next-gen(PS3, X360, Wii-not really).

legacy: a computer, system, or software that was created for a specific purpose but is now outdated; anything left over from a previous version of the hardware or software.

So maybe, it is. I think Gamespot included the PS2 in this board because the PS2 board was not so active unlike the PS3 and XBOX 360.

No, the PS2 is still alive and its legacy is growing. Therefor it is not suitable to place it in the legacy forum. That's as good as putting the Wii here now!
