Is the fourth version of PS2 a good idea for Sony?

Sony will be launching their 4th verson of PS2.  Is this a good idea for them?

I know PS2 is still selling very well, but I would think that it cuts into PS3 sales.

Asked if this would affect the market for PS-3, Mr Bose said that would not be the case. “We do not market it as a PS-2 or PS-3. It is the experience of the PS that we market. PS-3 is for the next generation. People who are first timers in the gaming market want to pick up PS-2 and experience that, before upgrading to PS-3,” he said.

I personally think this is a great idea for Sony.  I might buy it for my kids' room.
