Yet cant understand how some people remark that Sony doesnt support us blah blah. If I'm certain there's still a PS2 tab on Gamespot if you look up between the PS3 and PSP tab it's clearly there. If all companies can keep this attitude evrybody can be a happy customer because it seem a bit unfair for Microsoft and Nintendo to totally desert their previous user base and force customers to upgrade for sastifaction. Feel free to comment.

Of course not, they're on a system that's been dead for two years.

2007 was pretty incredible for the PS2 and yet the system is producing for 2008. There's tons of games in PS2 catalog whch I'm sure people passed up on because the list goes on and now there's new stuff on the market. People should give applauds to Sony for dedication in the consumers.

Perhaps an economics course is in order.

Lesson 1: Sony doesn't support thePS2......... the consumers do with their wallet. If suddenly it stopped selling, Sony would stop production on the PS2. That was the case with both the Xbox and GC. Its called supply and demand.

Lesson 2: There are no first party PS2 games in production. All of Sony's top studios are not producing PS3 games. The PS2 is left behind like a bad habit. Its nothing but a few 3rd party publishers producing some games because they believe they can profit from the PS2.

Lesson 3: The PS3 will only be in production until demand falls off sharply. Whether thats 4 years down the line or 6..... it doesn't matter. The same goes for the X360 and Wii. Sony can claim to support the PS3 for 10 years but reality is...... its only good as long as it sells.

You still have Rhythm games relasing and you still have your Naruto and Sonic releases let alone Japan releases that you can easly order. You can also catch up ontitles you missed. PS2 still sold well last yearyet it was being supported by 3rd parties. I'm willing to put bets that PS3 will last for 10 years whether it's in second or 3rd place in the console race. The reality is Sony supports their consoles and for consumers that's a win.

Karaoke Revolution, Twisted Metal, Rachet and Clank Size Matters, Mercenaries 2, Sega Superstars Tennis, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3, Winning Eleven, Major League Baskeball 2k8, Singstar, Destroy all Humans, MLB 08 the show. It may not be the best of the best but for support that's pretty impressive for those who invested in PS2.

To say the system is still supported is a misconception. You're trying to trick a clueless person into thinking PS2 still has a consistent flow of games like it did prior to 2006.

That is in fact a lie. Although software is still being produced everyone who knows anything about gaming can tell the system is pretty much dead on the software front, and SONY has turned all attention to its next gen counter part.

How is it "misconception" when there are games still be released this year? I know that the system will stop pretty soon but I'm certain it'll still get supported until late 08-09 which is impressive for a console that released in Y2k.

Sony is not doing that out of the goodness of their hearts. They are doing it because the PS2 is making them money still, which has helped curb the loses on the PS3. MS and Ninty were not making much money on the Xbox or GameCube, so it made sense for them to cut those platforms.

Before the ps3 came out sony held conference and stated they would support the ps2 for ten years and that they had talked to 3rd party develpers and that they were on board with sony to. Plus sony has 1st party games out like rachet and clank size matters /psp port.

I think Sony should pull the plug on the ps2 already, if they want the ps3 to get anywhere at its current state.

People seem to forget an AAA PS2 game was released at the beginning of the month, Persona 4. Also P3 FES was released in spring and Eternal Poison (definitely not for everyone) was released in November.

Also are they developed or published by Sony? If not then they aren't supporting the PS2, just third parties...

They are potential sales that could have gone to the ps3.

The ps3 is doing alright but it could do better.

In 2008 the ps2 had Yakuza 2, the KH: Chain of Memories remake, and Persona 4 that interested me (plus it had all the multi-plats). I'm sure it'll have a few gems next year as well.
