The PS2 will be around a while longer because it is still selling like crazy, even with all the other consoles that are out now. Also when you deside to go for the next generation console most all the PS2 games plays very nicely on a PS3.

It's not dead. But the PS2 forums are kind of dead. Not flowing with as much activity as before.

Lol, the question should be: is the PS2 dead YET? It's slowing the next-gen down somewhat. I'm not necessarily complaining, it IS slowing down the PS3 especially since a lot of newer-model PS3s aren't backwards compatible anymore and people want to play their PS2 games.

The PS2 is not dead. It is still selling great and there are a lot of games for PS2 and the price is cheap.

Nope, PS2 is still alive. I mean, it's still getting games released for it and that's with all the next gen consoles out for almost a year.

When a system is a great system for many years, it does not die. It becomes a classic. Something like the Sega CD... now that died. (Good system, but did not have support for long).

Istill play my PS2 though. FFX-2, FFXII, DDR, GT4, etc

I think the PS2s capabilities are still impressive. I do feel that development support for the PS2 is dwindling. However, there is some hope. The high cost of next-gen development prohibits smaller, creative developers from creating to the PS360. The best alternative for those smaller developers is to create for an olderconsole with a large market base. This results in lower production costs, higher profit margins, and wider exposure. As long as smaller developers are willing, the PS2 will be the prime market.

The Wii is the biggest danger to the PS2. Current development for that is most similar to the PS2. If it's market continues to grow at the pace it has, the PS2 will be an afterthought. I love my PS2 and I don't want that to happen.

Almost , the quality of the PS2 games are too poor .There're still some new games because the price of PS3 is too high .

ps2 will continue to live for a long time lol not everyone can afford a 500$ console and the games are like what 55$? that's a bit to much probably when the ps3 price starts to go down a bit then maybe just maybe the ps2 will be able to rest in peace but so far i have yet to see that happen 8)

Nah, I'd say the PS2 has a good 2 years of solid releases left in it. Who's going to forsake the installed userbase; a fraction of which is massive enough to dwarf the numbers of Xbox 360 and Wii users.

Sure, it's going to look real dated in 2008, but it's far from dead.

Sony doesn't stop games from being released on its consoles once the new console (in this case it the PS3) is released. The PS1 had games being released for it untill 2004.

I agree! It'll be an Xbox 360 for me. I know I'm missing out on the PS3 power but I want to play games, not watch movies.

Well ps2is not dead because its the best console for people to buy.Think about it: Its the cheapest,almost everyone has it, it has cheapest and best games for everyone and particularly for younger kids (Sly Racoon.R&C and others).And you can just buy it to play dvd:s.
