Eventually, it will. It happens with every console. But I still think there'll be a thriving retro market, similiar to what the SNES still experiences to this date, or many other obsolete consoles.
but that day isnt in the near furture. i believe that the PS2 well go strong well into 2008 and possibly 2009 if it keeps up with the great games its recieved lately.
Sony doesn't just kill consoles like MS. The PS was still getting good games long after the PS2 was launched.
Sorry if I come off sounding like a fanboy, but I had a PS and it gave me a lifetime of good games and then I went and got a PS2. I also got an Xbox and the game supply dried up after Halo2 and the Xbox360
if ps3 stays at the same price not a lot of people will buy it considering that both of the other 2 newer systems could be bought for the price of the ps3
Lol, the PSone to AGES to die. They were still making games on it when the Dreamcast was released! it lasted 11 years! The last decent game it had was Fifa 2005.... 2005!!!
The Xbox lasted a freakin' 4 years! It officialy ended production 8 months before the Xbox did! wtf!? then I have to buy a Xbox360? go to hell MS! GRRRRR!!!
/me ends rant and dunks head in bucket of ice to cool off
I hope it doesn't die just yet, 700 is an outrageous price tag man... And I don't need a dvd player or whatever else just a game system. For now ps2 is my game system.
Yep the PS2 will die someday,but it has great games for a now,and the graphic isnt so bad,i just love this console.....,i hopo it will take for it 2-5 years until its die because now the ps3 games is the same like ps2,just beter graphic,i hope it will stay :|,the PS1 is not so bad have FF7 and Silent Hill.....,i hoping it will stay .........
Eventually, the PS2 will die because the PS3 is next gen and once Sony figures out how to fix the problems and market it a little bit better (lower the price), it will most likely kill the PS2.
The question isn't especially relevant, at least not in the grand scheme of things. Aside from a few bug issues they're having with some select games, the PS3 is backwards compatible. So although eventually games will stop being made exclusively for PS2, the system will never truly die. It will instead live on in its more powerful descendent.
It will die in the same sense as the NES; It'll still be popular, it'll still be remembered for its amazing game line-up, and it'll still be played and supported by the masses. Right now, though, it's still extremely strong, especially with the announcement of Guitar Hero III. No one has any reason to dump their PS2 yet, and, even when the PS2 drifts into memory, it'll still be quite popular.
