It's financially viable to advertise the PS2 as such sure, but it's not an ad campaign that would work. The average consumer may not be the most informed person ever, but the PS2 lacks the future software library to maintain strong sales after this year. Heck, current PS2 software sales are downright awful, which implies that most PS2s being purchased now are either replacements or budget gamers who won't buy anything but used software.

 

This is what I mean. Sony should encourage people to make lots of good games on it again. Advertise it like it a peer for the Wii.  They should try to discourage the notion that it is last gen and accentuate the still godlike library and advertise the playstations as a unit.  Make it seem cool again.  With the price and library, people might become  interested if they think it's gonna be around for a long time and see good games again.  Release alot of the new games on PS2 as well.  I dunno, I think this would be an interesting strategy.
