Yakuza 2 and Persona 4. God of war 2 was in 2007, well after the PS3, and it was great.

Sony really should have pulled the plug but maybe not yet because of bad ps3 sales

I personally don't get this 10 year thing about Sony. It would be cool is a system could last 10 years and still have top games against its competitors with the NEW generation, but I don't see the PS2 really living up. What I Can see of owning a PS2 is buying a cheaper version of a game... like Rock Band or Guitar Hero III.

Why would they do that? The PS2 outsold the 360 a couple of months ago in May sales and once it drops from $129 to $99 expect sales to go up. PS2 will keep going into 2009 and then cease.

My bad just caught your name, but even still with an xbox you were cut short. The PS2 still has great games coming out for it, maybe you don't like them but some of us do. I can't wait to pick up Persona 4 this year.

A lot of good games have been released after the launch of PS3. Some imo, are better than what all 3 are offering right now. But hey, if fanboys can't understand the philosophy behind supporting a console for 10 years then its fine. I like that Sony supports their consoles for so long, it gives devs even more time to understand the hardware.

I feel the same way. I don't like to replace things in the shorter time lines.

Consumers decide the lifespan of consoles, not the manufacturers.

Companies sell (and continue to sell) products because they are making money, not because of some ridiculous PR statements, or original plans, or dreams, or desires. Money, and money alone.

And we the consumers decide whether they make money based upon whether we buy the product.

If the PS3 (or the Wii, or the 360) stopped selling today...literally no sales after today....do you really think it would last 10 yrs? Don't be silly. It will last as long as it makes sense to last, based upon whether Sony and game makers continue to make money.

The PS and PS2 lasted a long time because they were wildly successful and continued to make money, because they continued to sell, and their games continued to sell. They didn't last as long as they did because of Sony's 'plan'. That is laughable.

I am sure the developers of the Edsel also expected it to last many years...and guess what happened....

Although not supported by sony in terms of games, the ps2 is not dead just yet, its still selling. You want to know what consoles are dead look at the xbox1 and gamecube, Now that's what you call dead. Like I said, it's still selling.

what's the xbox got? the gamecube?

the ps2 is getting quite frankly surprisingly good support at this day and age, even if it is just mostly cash cow ports.
