You know, as much as it would be sheer genius to combine the best of both worlds for the gamers; it wouldn't be in the best interests of Sony to do so. On the other handit would be a disastrous business move for the company simply because most of their resources are being spent on, or rather should be spent on the PS-III.

Also it wouldn't 'gel' if i may say so with the 'common' man for various reasons, that being monetary to it -just not being the the PS one loves and adores-. The consumer can be very fickle and very difficult to please.

At the same time i do not believe that the PS-II is on its last legs, as of yet. it may be staring into the grave but its foot isn't in it yet. simply because, as i said before, monetary value. Half the world, believe it or not cannot afford to spend on the frivolities of the luxurious life. I can be clubbed asone of them... as much as i would like to grab a PS-III I cant afford it, not with my current spending rate on college. The PS-II may fade off from the topside of the world but down here, it still has time to shine no matter how dimly.
