Big mistake on their part, the Wii-U will do very poorly with it's lame gimmick

Even if the Wii-U does poorly, it does not change the fact that the PS2 is a dated console and its games are piling up at their store. This move is not only inacpition for the Wii-U, its likely being done also to prepare for Sony and Microsoft's next system. People may love the PS2, but its glory days are well-behind it and many people are no longer intrested in the system as a whole. My PS2 has sat unused for almost two years, and many Gamestops in my area have piles of PS2 games that are sitting on shelves that nobody is buying.
Gamestop was also the last major chain to stop selling the PS2 and its games. Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us might still have a few older PS2 games laying around, but they have dropped any real support for the system in their stores. I would not be surprised if the PS2 is retired within the nest year or so. The writing is on the wall, and Sony really has no reason to keep supporting the system.
It had a good run, and it will now join other classic systems like the SNES, PS1, and NES in the Video Game graveyard.
