PS2 is pretty much dead and I blame Sony.

BC has nothing to do with PS2's software sales.

compare it to other 10+ year old consoles without BC?, how are DC or xbox doing right now in term of software sales??

Compare to other 10+ year old consoles WITH BC? How are Gamecube or GBA doing in term of software sales?


the fact is, it's 10+ years old, are you serious??

You've missed the point ENTIRELY. The other consoles you mentioned have nohing to do with this discussion. I'm simply saying Sony could have prolonged the life of the PS2 futher if they made the PS3 BC. Also, they could have sold PS2 games on PSN. That would have been huge.

It crashes their profitability... Having BC in the PS3 cost quite a deal apparently and it negated the need for people to purchase PS2's (which had a profit margin). If they added PS2 support to the PS3, people would flock to the PS3 and they would've bled even harder. Not exactly the business call to make.
