Who else thinks Sony needs to kill the PS2?

I could be wrong, but I think that the people who are continuing to support the PS2 have demonstrated that their values are drastically different from what Sony focused on with the PS3 and it's likely that "Killing" the PS2 wouldn't benefit the PS3 at all ...

It is highly possible that 2/3 of people (or more) who have bought a PS2, or have been buying PS2 games, over the past 18 months would move towards the Wii if the PS2 was "Killed off"

But maybe 7 years or 6 years later these people will want to upgrade to nex-gen with a Ps3 (by then it will be cheap).....so isn't it a win/win situation for SONY

 

I doubt that most of the new PS2 purchases are people buying their first PS2, and beyond that late adopters tend to favour the dominant console in a generation because it tends to have the largest library of great games (that tend to be budget priced by the time they buy the console).
