isnt the ps2 being dropped this year

as much as i used to love my old ps2 for many years i have now for the past year had a shiny ps3

i just think its time for sony to drop the ps2 once and for all this year and focus more on the ps3

i also think that sony should drop the psp as well since it isnt going anywhere its failed because of piracy

i dont think sony is gonna drop the ps2 until no one buys at all.

and the psp is still selling great idk why they would drop it. its a huge seller in japan. but psp go fails so they can drop that.

Sony is just selling the console as long as people are buying it, it's not taking any focus away from the PS3. It's not like Sony are making new games for it.

they just say they'll support it for at least 10 years, nothing about them supporting it for no more than 10 years.

The PS2 still sells a good bit. The PSP sells pretty good in Japan. The PSP is actually a good system despite the negativity towards it. It's got Resstance, Ratchet, Final Fantasy, Wild Arms etc. The go is failing because no one is going to pay double what the older version costs since it does not hardly anything new. Then again Sony was probably forced into charging so much since retailers won't make any money off of selling games.

I say if they can have 3 systems out that sell good for them. The PS2 might go longer than 10 years. They stopped selling PS1 games in 05 because no one bought the older games anymore because everyone had PS2's. The PS3 is just now starting to have a good reputation by the mainstream. The PS3 is in third place if you want to go by sales and rankings and it probably won't get out of it either. North America is very much 360 based and Wii based. Japan is a very small market. The PS3 outsells 360 in Europe but the 360 still does pretty well.

Sony at this point needs to have as much out as it can have. They are just starting to get into the black once again.

To be honest, PS2/PSP sales are what kept Sony from ending up like Dreamcast a couple years ago when they had the $599 price tag on the system. If I were you, I wouldn't rush them getting rid of the 2 systems, as Sony is still till this day losing money on each ps3 system sold. (I believe its like $30 or something.)

lol, I don't even have a PS2 yet. I might want to get on that....Superzone

i do agree with everyone that the psp does have some good games as i have had a psp for the past three years, i just dont think its the console it could of been, the main two reasons being is that 1. sony has taken hardly no interest ever in advertising it which is quite a shame as you look at the DS with loads of ads and it sells quite well, and second which is piracy, if piracy wasnt an issue on the psp it would be selling like the ps2 was at its peak and you would be seeing many developers pouring loads of money into making great games.
