PS2 will remain the best selling console of all time by the end of this gen

no, why the hell would it be discontinued right when the next gen starts? This gen started in 2005 and PS2 is still selling decently 5 years after. The NES and SNES sold quite well after the release of the next gen, that's because they were market leaders like the PS2. The PS2 is on its last legs right now and Sony is doing everything they can to kill it off, you should probably look at january NPD.

Just for the record the wii is outselling PS2 by at least 7 million by any fair comparison. The gap is widening not shrinking BTW.

Why would Sony want to drag the PS2 into another generation? It makes no sense. I think 2011 is a perfect time to discontinue the PS2 even if its selling pretty good. I think its time people move on to the PS3. Exactly how do you expect people to move on to the PS3 when the PS2 is still out. They need to discontinue the console soon because they can't walk in the 8th geneartion with their new console, the Ps3 and still dragging the PS2 along with them. It makes a lot of sense.
