As long as the PS3's aren't Backwards Compatible, the PS2 remains as an affordable console with a very very large gamebase. This way the lifecycle of the Ps2 will be stretched with at least a few years. With the current announcements at E3 it looks like sony wants to be a big player with 3 consoles/handhelds on the market... Is this Sony's business strategy, or do they really have to keep the production costs of the ps3 low? I'd say, very smart move, certainly since ps3 is slowly gaining ground and the ps2 is still selling very well. (although personally i haven't bought a ps3 yet because of the lack of BC here in Europe)

I think you have that backwards, Sony wants you buying PS3 games for your PS3, not playing PS2 games you already own on it.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
