I just can't comprehend why people still buy PS2's. I mean its over 9 years old. Sure it has an amazing library of games but its so outdated. And with the Wii and 360 only being $200 and the PS3 just $300 price can't be why people buy PS2's over current gen consoles.

Because people not rich.  Everyone can't buy the newer consoles and spend $60 for every game.  Some people save they money for more important things like bills and food.  The PS2 has a huge library of great games so why not buy one.  There are still hundreds of PS2 games I want to play.

you don't have to buy every game. I don't. I"m not rich,but I was able to afford a ps3. It's all about being selective.

Just because you're "not rich" doesn't mean that you are poor. There are plenty of families who can only afford a PS2, because they can get the system and a load of games for far less than even a Wii. I could go into my local GameStop and buy a PS2 and 10-15 games and leave with €20 more than if I'd just bought a Wii. Not everyone can afford a next-generation console, so a lot of people are willing to purchase the PS2 because of its library.
