Will Sony discontinue PS2 before Xmas 2010? Or will it keep on selling it, particularly in emerging countries, where it could eventually meet the buying power of middle classes fastly growing in number and income before current gen consoles?
There is an obstacle to this possible ambitious goal, though: due to high piracy rate there, Sony will have to profit on HW too, so it won't be able to cut price very much to hasten the time when PS2 will become affordable for that target. If not feasible, so, it will be the current gen or even the next, when in their late years and cheap, to conquer those markets, in this case Sony would lose a big opportunity to have a huge market all for itself for a few years.
