No,

I dont even understand your evidence supporting your statement ...

PS2 under 200$
PS3 over 400$

PS2 is competing versus Wii and Xbox360 arcade, not PS3.

 

 The PS2 is competing against nothing. The competition only lasts within its gen. The PS2 is just raking in extra money for Sony and covering the losses that the PS3 makes. The PS2's gen is over, but they continue anyway. The PS2 earlier in the year was having solid six digit console sales. The Xbox 360 arcade is going up against the Wii's $250 console, the PS3 has yet to enter the war for the larger/frugal consumer base.

 

 No, the Ps2 is competing against X360, Wii and Ps3. If the Ps2 hadn't been, people who bought it would probably have bought Wii, X360 or Ps3, so it is competing with it.
