The removal of BC from the PS3 is sure to keep the PS2 kicking and in demand for longer than was thought before. There is still a huge library available for the PS2 with many really good and inexpensive games.
Nintendo keeping GC BC in the Wii has certainly evaporated the need to actually buy a GC. Though, the software should at least still be in demand, because of the ability to play GC games on the Wii. I never had a gamecube, though I have been looking at picking up some GC games to play on the Wii.
