They stopped production in January......so this quarter isn't relevant. Also it was just Japan that production stopped I believe. 3rd world countries have much incentive to buy one....namely its affordable.

It was worldwide: PlayStation 2 manufacture ends after 12 years [the guardian] , it was discontinued in Japan in November or December. Developing countries have no more incentive to buy it since there are no more games for it: all those 1000+ games from the first half of the 2000s are not available in those countries, simply because at the time the PS2 was not available there.

Because black markets in 3rd world countries is a totally foreign concept..........and PS2 was never hackable to play pirated games right?.........:P

Welcome to 2008, when the new-new-slim PS2 blocks the memory card exploit and I don't think those guys spend 50$ just to get a 5$ game shipped to their country...
