I'm sure that 80% of hardcore and casual gamers alike would still take a PS2 over a PS3 considering the major discrepencies in the quality and volume of games between the two systems, so I'm guessing yes. Hell, I'd rather buy a PS1 than a PS3 at the moment.grarap
PS1 has one of if not the greatest game library of all time, i would rather have one 2

if that were true (it's not) than the PS2 would be selling more than the wii.
in Japan PS3 is outselling I'll I have to wait for the NPD to see the American sales. Price is a major factor right now, that's why the PS2 is doing so well.

The last numbers I saw had the ps2 behind only the ds and wii. but that was a month or two ago. i believe the ps2 is still outselling the ps3 and the 360. please correct me if the latest numbers show differently.
Its normally takes a while for current gen systems to surpass the top last gen system. The PS2, the second then current gen system, had been on the shelves in the US a year before it passed the PS1 in sales and Sony and its third parties had killed off support for the PS1 long before the PS2 started to outsell it (the PS1 was playing host to garbage like Small Brawl late 2001).
In 2007 the PS2 is still hosting high quality games such as God of War 2, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11 (niche, but awesome), Odin Sphere and soon Persona 3. That is great for PS2 owners or gamers looking for a quality living system (albeit one on its last legs) at a low price, but not so great for its would be successors.
Don't forget Grim Grimoire, Soul Nomad, Growlanser, and Wild Arms 5. Also on that list, SNK is bringing out King of Fighters XI, Fatal Fury Archives, and more archives to go along with Sammy's Guilty Gear Accent Core. There's also a likely chance that Shining Wind, Ar Tonlico 2, and other quirky Japanese games will come over, like that newly announced best-selling baseball game in Japan that willbe released through 2K Games this year. And last but definitely not least, you can't forget EA's continual support with the next Madden, FIFA, NBA Live, etc., on the PS2 as long it's on its two legs. And you know Guitar Hero III will be a best seller.
So yeah, with support like this, it may take awhile longer for the PS3 to take over the throne.
