sony plan for PS2 was 10 year like the first playstation, but it's already been 10 year since the lunch in 2000 and it's still selling, although it's sales decreased alot in the last few years it's still a pretty good for a console thats been out for 10 years.

when is ps2 lifecycle going to end?

I'd say by the end of this year or the end of next year. It's gonna be a sad day when the PS2 dies.

Either after

1. Sony starts hating money

2. It stops selling

I hope until Sony comes out with the PS4. Im still playing and looking forward to getting new PS2 games. Im not the only one too because everyone knows that the PS2 is a billion times better than the PS3. PS2 will never die!

Sony has already said that they will support the PS2 as long as it sells well.

At the current rate it's gonna be a while before the PS2 will be removed from production. If this hold's true for a while longer then chances the PS3 will be around for at least another 10 years or so. Each Play Station system has lasted longer than the previous system. I don't see another Play Station being released for a long time.

I'd say the end of this year. Everyone has pretty much stopped making games for it... even shovelware stuff like universal studio games

PS1's initial launch was in Dec 94 and it was discontinued Mar 2006, so the PS1 had over a 10-year life as well. Most likely they will stop manufacturing PS2s either when sales are low enough to not justify production or when they are about to launch the PS4.
