It really is stuck with a non-BC $400 Blu-Ray player/game unit in the eyes of someone looking for low-cost game recreation. Plus the catalog of games available -- both new and used -- means that people will continue to be interested in the system long after it is gone. Mike from Morgantown PS -- I wonder how many people are buying PS2 units to protect their game investment since there is no PS3 BC? |
Thats Sony's fault for making that investment, not Nintendo nor Microsofts business. The PS2 helps but at the same time is preventing future sales numbers that the PS3 could've actually had. At some point you have to cut off the frugal gamers where they stand. Microsoft did this, Nintendo did this, but Sony always has a problem with it. This is probably why Sony has the delusion that they can beat the Wii in the long run by keeping the PS3 selling for 10 years. Sony needs to learn that when the competition sacks their system the war is over. The PS3 will need over 15 Million consoles to catch up to the Wii. Delusion has served Sony's sanity, but the question is, for how long?
