I was at an FYE the other day, and they have completely disbanded their PS2 section. Even a couple months ago, their were still shelves dedicated to the platform.
The lay out of the store by shelf space is now something like this:
Wii 25%
DS 25%
X360 20%
PS3 20%
PSP 10%
It used to be more like this:
Wii 22%
DS 22%
X360 20%
PS3 20%
PSP 8%
PS2 8%
Even the local Game Stop/ Best Buy/ Walmart have apparently cut back on their PS2 sections. I had been expecting this after Christmas, but it has been happening during the peak shopping season which is not a particularly good sign. I don't think this is a national trend, but it is a little strange to see PS2 being pushed out during the Christmas season.
