People who DONT have ps2s will mostly be the ones buying ps2s, so to stop selling the console wouldn't necessarily create new PS3 sales from the ps2 fanbase. A price drop would be a big driver. This holidays we'll see a huge spike/shift anyway.
PS2 owners are a massive group like the baby boomers, and they're gonna retire over the next couple years: to the PS3.
Still, PS2 makes a lot of money still, so there's no reason to stop it. Note: if Sony cared so much about PS3 passing PS2 eventually, they could do something about it by stopping PS2 sales. They aren't that childish, though. It's about $$$ and the game division is historically very much in the black except during transition years.
