I have all 3 current gen systems, have had them since launch, and still have, and play, my PS2 the most.

The PS2 is far from dead. "No new games after this year" doesn't mean squat until one of the current gen comes remotely close to having as good of a games catalog.

eBay + GameStop == RPG + Action game happiness for eons with a PS2. The only real reason to buy a 360 over a PS2 is for the online gaming, or if you've got a HDTV, and will be happy with a very limited selection of RPGs by comparison. Also, wireless controllers are readily available for the PS2 -- heck most of the new controllers on store shelves for the PS2 are wireless.

So if i say Supermario brothers 2 is awesome,so that means the Snes gen is still going?

 

Sure.  It lives on through the Wii!

PS2 is still going, and going, and going.  Hate it all you want, man.  That doesn't stop it from being the truth.  Check out the numbers the PS2 has sold since the 360 launch -- they're shockingly close.  If the PS2 was truly dead, why would 25 million people buy one in the past 3+ years?

Last time I checked, there were WAY more PS2 games available at the local game store than for any other console.  Used sure.. still good, especially for the money.  I'd have to venture a "guess" that, given that said stores are willing to devote that much retail shelfspace to used PS2 titles, they must still sell pretty well, and as long as they sell well, the devoted space will remain so, and used trade will continue to flourish.

PS2 may outlive us all. ;)
