The reason there are so many PS2's out there is because it was a cheap DVD player and later in its life it was a cheap console with a huge and popular library.
Now there are cheaper DVD players than $400, people on a budget aren't looking for BluRay players yet, it doesn't have the huge and popular library yet, the budget PS3 can't play PS2 games, and the PS3 isn't cheap yet.
As soon as the PS3 actually becomes affordable, the budget model plays PS2 games, and gets the huge and popular library then it can start converting PS2 owners that haven't already moved on to something else.
