So to get back on point the FACT is that there are ten's of millions of people worldwide "especially Asia" who own a ps2 who have not bought a ps3 or any next gen for that fact cause there system is still being published for. Now if you stop support of the ps2 "like MS did for xbox" it will force people to go out and buy another system. Now when they get to the store they see that sony is now in the same ball park for the price comparison with Wii and 360 and it also comes with the cable u need to make it look good on your new high def tv and a good game. Then u read on the box that all your old ps2 and ps1 games will work on this new system and u can also watch high def movies and get on the internet and etc... and GEE look at them fly out of the store, imagine that. This is honestly simple. Not only has sony prooven my point with the ps2 but microsoft proved it with the xbox/360. This truly is not a hard thing to grasp.

How do you propose Sony "stops" game publishing on the PS2?  Is Sony going to tell third parties they're not allowed to make PS2 games anymore?  I'm sure that'll go over well...

As for selling the system at a price closer to the other two, if you really think Sony has just dismissed this idea for the hell of it, you're crazy.  I know technology gets cheaper as you make more units, but Sony obviously knows that too.  What makes you think they haven't already calculated the cost and reward of another price drop (based on quality internal data versus the internet speculation that we all use?)
