I like how not one person agrees with the OP. There are things about business that you just don't understand. No one's going to buy a PS3 instead of a PS2 because the PS2 has been discontinued? What? Because it's called PLAYSTATION, that makes people go from PS2-PS3? No, that's fanboyism. The PS2 is 100 bucks, and selling at profit, and it's the cheapest console. If the PS2 is discontinued, it would help Wii sales, because the PS3 is 300 dollars, while the Wii is 200.
It's about pricing, not, "Oh, people are buying PS2 STILL, Sony should stop making it so they'll buy PS3." They'll stop buying PS2s and get Wiis, or nothing at all. It's about price, and if every gamer was a fanboy, SEGA and Nintendo would still be going neck and neck... Good thing you're not a Sony employee..
Well, actually, Atari would be dominating, but, you get the point... I hope..
