Hmmm.... might not be a good financial move. Slowing down PS2 production, sure but stopping it all together might be a bad idea. Those things are likely very good profit.

They make profit if they sell. And since 4th quarter of 2011 PS2 shipment has been on decline, the reason is because of PS3 price cut in 2011. So the difference between PS3 and PS2 price is becoming less and less, and people would rather buy PS3 or 360 even in devoloping countries.

PS3 is FAR more expensive than a PS2 in developing countries and basically everywhere. Like at least three times as expensive.

In Brazil a PS3 costs US$ 400 ~ US$ 700. A PS2 costs US$ 100.
