NO. PS2 is still selling like hot cake for 9 years old console that also had biggest library of gmaes ever and still getting some games till now. I dont think by discontinued PS2 the PS3 sales will rise a lot. This week PS2 sold 82k. I dont think PS3 can sell 50k more. Besides PS2 is selling with profit and minimize loss from PS3. Sony will let PS2 go when it selling like 5k every week.
