You are forgetting that newer markets take up consoles more slowly. Also wealthier countries(US,Japan,UK) can absorb higher prices of new consoles. So I expect Europe will keep the PS2 going the longest. A better analysis would be to look at total hardware moved each year and examine the regional breakdown.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
