    Should Sony FINALLY discontinue the PS2?

    the same could be said about the psp. 
     
    And with nintendo with the ds. 
      
    Almost no company has only one product they are marketing.  And what you are considering Sony is just its consoles' department. They have numerous divisions, and a ridiculous number of products. They will never concentrate solely on the PS3. 
     
    Accept it. 
     
    And from what i've seen they are just selling them. Not minding or thinking much about their ps2 strategy.

    You imply Sony is actually putting any significant amount of money behind PS2 production.  You're wrong.

    Difference is the DS and PSP are current gen and should be focused on.

    Then you imply buying a PS2 when you're interested in it's massive backlog of games you've never played before is a poor purchase.  You are also wrong.

    Why the hell would you want to buy a PS2 when you can buy a PS3 or Xbox 360?

    Because the PS2 is arguably the best video game system of all time and you can get a ton of excellent games you very well could have missed for cheap?

    Because you can buy 30 games for it for a hundred dollars. With the Ps3 you can get 4 or 5, if you're really really thrifty.

    At least three reasons why: 
     
    1. The price 
    2. To play PS2 games 
    3. Market availability

    who says everyone can buy a ps3 or 360?
     
    aside from that, many of the games on PS2 still stand up, gameplay wise, to games on the PS3 or 360

    • The Xbox was better: 
       
      More Horsepower

    • Doesn't absolutely need a memory card to save
    • 4 controller slots
    • Online play
    • Much more things can be on the screen at once (See Morrowind)

    I still play my PS2 almost as much as my Wii.  I can't go into to Gamestop without browsing PS2 games and often times I will pick one up for $5-$15.  I already own one and so does my daughter and there are so many I am sure I will be able to find a replacement for years to come.  I personally hope as long as people are buying it they keep making it.

    Why the hell would they "move on, like microsoft and nintendo" when the thing is still selling quite well? They hardly put any time into it and it still makes them money, so there's no reason for them to quit as long as people are willing to buy them.

    I hope you aren't refering to GTA because those were later on the PC and Xbox or RE4 because that was on the GameCube. Oh right! The PS2 has the game that revolutionized console FPS! Oh wait...

    Why is this pile of shit thread still up? The point has been made clear that this idiot doesn't have the slightest idea what he is talking about. Don't try to explain 8th grade economics to him if he acts like he is still in the 5th grade.

    If people are still buying games for it then sure. I don't see the point in playing old systems, but I know how hard it can be to spend over $300 on a new console (with games, accessories, controllers, etc).

    Go lick you Mom's cunt. The only reason the PS2 exists is for shitty licensed games and the PS2 is taking up time that Sony could be using for the PS3 or PSP.

    Why would I include the GameCube, when we were comparing the Xbox and the PS2?

    Because it came off to me that you were acting like the GameCube was more of a success then the Xbox when it sold lower. I am going to assume you never saw the marketing behind Halo 2, if you did you would know that people in fact "gave a damn" about it.

    If or when sony decides to implement a PS2 emulator into all PS3s via software download and does another substancial price drop, only then would they even risk discontinuing PS2 consoles.

    " @K0rN: Did I say anything about the GameCube? "
    You were saying that "No one gave a damn" about the Xbox but you acted like they all cared about the GameCube which is completely untrue because it lost to the Xbox. "
    Do find the post where I said, acted like, or implied anything about the GameCube. "
    You said "Xbox was a faliure" but didn't include the GameCube which lost to it. "
    Why would I include the GameCube, when we were comparing the Xbox and the PS2? "
    Because it came off to me that you were acting like the GameCube was more of a success then the Xbox when it sold lower. I am going to assume you never saw the marketing behind Halo 2, if you did you would know that people in fact "gave a damn" about it. "
    So I should make mention of the gamecube in a topic where we have been comparing the xbox and the PS2 exclusively.  Right....
     
    I'm going to assume you actually believe one game (or one franchise in this case) can make a system.  If people gave a damn about the Xbox, Microsoft would not cut off production the moment the 360 came out on shelves.

    No, I was referring to Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, the Personas, Final Fantasies X and XII, Shinobi, Gitaroo Man, Odin Sphere, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Ape Escapes 2 and 3 and a ton more games I'm forgetting because the system had a metric fuckton of incredible exclusive games as I just said, and that's not to mention that the majority of third-party games were built and optimized for the system, just like the majority are built and optimized for the 360 now.  And considering I find Halo to be incredibly overrated, it's not like saying "THE EKZBAWKZ HAD HALO SO STFU" is going to win me over because my response is going to be: "so the fuck what?  I was playing Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 and Counter-Strike, all three of which are better games."

    Nintendo made money off of every GameCube sold starting in, like 2003 or 4.  Microsoft lost money on every Xbox sold by the time they killed it in its sleep.  So arguably Nintendo didn't fail.

    The 6th gen needs to end. It takes up Sony's time to focus on the PS2 when they should be focusing on the PS3 and PSP currently. I didn't hear anyone here going on like this when Microsoft announced that original Xbox Live is going to be shut down, they were saying "About time". It's like that with the PS2.

    Well, as far as market shares went, they kind of did.  But profit wise, yeah.

    You're going to have to answer this question eventually.  How much time and focus do you think the PS2 is actually taking up?

    The only reason you find Halo to be overrated is because you never actually got to play it because you never owned an Xbox. I was wise and bought both consoles and got to have a taste of them both.

    There. Right there. That's where you fucked up. People didn't give a shit about the Xbox when the 360 came out. People STILL care about the PS2. There are sales to prove that. The PS2 still brings in a respectable amount of people. You said it yourself that people aren't complaining about the PS2 still being productive. Do you need more proof that the PS2 has had a greater affect than the Xbox? Why are you complaining about it? I own both a PS2 and a PS3 and I am very satisfied with how Sony is handling things with those two systems.

    Any time is to much. Drop the PS2 and focus 100% on the PS3. That is what Microsoft is doing with Original Xbox Live.

    No...Microsoft is shutting down Xbox Live because it's supposedly holding back it's capabilities on the 360.  Sony is continuing to produce the PS2 because it's still making money, which coincidentally is being used to help fund further PS3 development.
