PS2 is pretty much dead and I blame Sony.

The PS2 died because people moved on to other things, and PS2 BC in the PS3 would have done nothing to change that. It would just have lessened HW sales and possibly boosted SW sales a little. It wouldn't really have changed anything.

thats what the OP is saying.

I think there is a difference between boosting sales a little and SW sales being much more relevant today. I'm saying it wouldn't make much of a difference, while the OP says that the PS2 would be much more alive and kicking today.
