This was in Japan based in a article with no word coming from Sony... just The Guardian assuptiom... so fake.

Last real words about PS2.

"JR: Typically history can help us only so far here. We’re actually still selling PS2s in regions such as the Middle East seven years after we introduced PS3. There are a number of reasons why the transition might be a bit more accelerated this time round, but PS3 is a very important part of our portfolio, certainly in 2013, 2014 and probably beyond that."

Selling PS2s is not the same as producing PS2s.


And, you're wrong, there is a source:

 

 

Update: Wiping a tear from its eye, SCE offered us this statement:

Due to PlayStation 2 now being over 12 years old, we have decided to stop future production of the console and focus on our newer and more popular platforms, PS3, PS Move and PS Vita. We are very proud of what we have achieved with PS2. Having sold over 150m units worldwide, PlayStation 2 remains the world's best selling console, but with sales understandably declining, we are shifting our priorities to reflect this.

Might be true for Japan, but no official word on WW shipments/ sales. If PS2 shipments stopped then I guess PS3 shipments are indeed very high.
