I think the PS2 will live on for quite sometime, I don't think it's going too get as nearly as many AAA titles it received in the past, since all the focus will be on the PS3. A great console indeed-- personally with all of it's AAA titles easily hands-down the best console the world has ever seen.

A long time for Industry standards. It's still the number one console in the planet, outsells every unit to this day with the exception of the DS (which is insanely successful). The PS3 sucks at the moment and it really got pwned with all the bad things happening, even the biggest PS2 fanboys have moved to the Wii or 360 for next-gen (both also suck at the moment, these next-gen consoles are awful right now). Sony's only success in the market is the PS2, they want to keep it around until the PS3 finally picks up steam (which I see not happening, proove me wrong Sony, proove me wrong).

Lol, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't offically "count" the results of the poll with only 11 votes.

Anyways, the PS2 will live on in my house since I can't afford/don't want the PS3. There are tons and tons of PS2 games that I still haven't played yet, and as long as some new games are being released, PS2s will still be sold and PS2 games will continue to be played everywhere.

Since I'm in another country which the price of the new console is absurd (R$3.500 that is about $1.750), I don't think I'll be buying one in this decade. So I wish and hope that plenty good PS2 titles will come out in the coming years.

I doubt that the PS2 will live on 'till 2010, but I'm sure it'll be around long enough to see at least 2 more seasons of Madden :wink:

the ps2 is such a good system (the best since NES, in my opinion), i would say it's got a lot of time left. PS2's are still outselling "next-gen" systems!

In 2007 there is at least 10 very good games, lets say AA games. But after that what will happened in 2008 its very much unknown.

EDIT: But i dont think Sony will give up easly on PS2, it is still selling like crazy! Outselling 360 and PS3(not Wii). PS2 will probably live much longer in Japan than in NA and EU

No doubt that the PS2 is still strong this year. Most likely the higher end devolopers will be focus on the PS3...it's actually kinda obvious. Just a few days ago, one of my co-workers just bought the PS2! It's cheap and has a vast collection of games. Yes, this forum is about the future of the PS2...not the past. My opionion is this: If there is money to be made, you will see some good games in the future for this system. Next year, the top devolopers will not be devoted to this system. So it is very logical to say the PS2 will fade away.

If ps3 keeps on not selling then ps2 will still be alive and ready.
