You do realized that Sony continued to support the PS1 long after the PS2 launched. You do also realize that the PS2 had no problem outselling its competitors while Sony continued its PS1 support. The real issues is Sony screwed up with the PS3. They misread the market and thought that they could slap the Playstation brand name on any product at any price and the public would eat it up. They were wrong and they are still paying for that "miscalculation."
