Worried About The Slow Decline

First let me say that I am perfectly content with my PS2 and in my opinion it is the greatest system yet. I am , however, worried that developers will say they are releasing games on PS2 when in fact they are practically making a big demo of a new-gen system on PS2. So far this has not happened yet, but I am afraid that with games like Rock Band, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, and even the Simpsons Game being available on several system old and new, that the developers will start to care less and less about making the PS2 versions of the game as good as the new-gen systems. The good thing however is that the PS2 (maybe all the way through the new-gen) will get Wii-Moteless versions of 3rd party Wii games (i.e. DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3). I can only hope this continues to happen, even with games like Soul Calibur: Legends.

The good thing is we (the poor boys who can't afford the fany-pants HD systems) can always play the best games from the past years and we can hope that the 3rd party games go like this: New-gen systems get an upgrade of the PS2/Wii version as apposed to the PS2/Wii getting a down-graded version.

The bad thing it almostall good things end eventually and eventually we will have to move on. The biggest thing is that the PS2 continues to have good games until we (the less privilaged gamers) can afford to move on.

Well?

There are still plenty of titles slated to come out over this year. No need for worrying about that.

But even if not one new game came out, there is plenty to keep you busy with a ps2 for a very, very, very long time. You dont have to play brand new games just because there are new games out. I still play ps1 and snes and genesis and neo geo stuff. And pc stuff also. There is no need to rush to a new console until you are ready.

The good thing about the ps2 is the PS3 is compatible with most ps2 games unlike the other system. Over time the ps2 will be phased out and thats just the way it is with new technology, but the fact the ps3 can still play ps2 games should keep games coming for awhile. If I remember correctly, the ps1 still had games up to a few years ago(again I do not remember the actually year but i would say around 2000 maybe). I don't think there is anything to worry aboutat leastfor the next 3 years or so or maybe even longer.

Actually PS1 had games until 2004.

I am glad that there are people that still see a great fight inside the PS2, honestly I never owned a PS2, but I am planning on buying a new one, why is that? I love the PS2, you can say I am a fan boy but who cares, we all are, I am not planning on purchasing new consoles just to be part of the trend.

The point is I still play with my PSX and loving it, it think developers should still release good games on some old consoles and not do exclusive games for next gen consoles, I dont want to think that the PS2 is a dying console, no, no, no, I know that this console can still stand and put up a fight.
