^they are going to stop service and production of all ps2 models...as well as games being produced
Even if this was a joke post, you're spot-on. This is exactly the kind of ass-backwards thing they would do. It goes back to what I was talking about in this thread a few months back: Sony's strategy so far has consisted of attempts to force or trick people into buying the PS3 rather than to attract them with incentives.
Cutting backwards compatibility was the single worst move they could have made for convincing PS2 owners to upgrade. Without it, they have no reason to choose PS3 over another console. Until Sony brings it back in on a low-end model, any "targeting" of PS2 owners they do is just empty mouth-flapping.
