Well, doesn't this just prove my point even more? It's not as if the PS3 was unaffected by it.

And if you're point is right, why was ps2 replaced in six years when it doing amazing numbers?

The ignoratio elenchi fallacy is really getting annoying on these boards ... (How about you guys actually start showing how the opposition's argument will further yours ? That shouldn't be too hard from now on, right ?) 

What you say about PS2 doing "amazing" numbers isn't true either considering the system peaked in it's second year. PS3 replaced PS2 earlier because the latter was reaching a plateau in it's main market and had hardly any further room for growth ... (just before the laun of the PS3, PS2 was selling for $129) 

Ok the way I worded my post, it should've been clear, but let me say it again: PS3 lasting 7 years proves my point, because that was also prolonged by the recession, like the Xbox 360 was. 

PS2 peaking doesn't mean shit when you take a look at its 2006-2007-2008 numbers. New games were coming out regularly, even games that weren't on the PS3 (gow2, persona 4, etc)It was obvious that ps2 had a ton of life left in it, And easily could've been dragged on for an addition two years.
