I'd love to know just how much the PS2 does actually sell Worldwide, per Week.

This

You know what is funny, Slim PS2 is #56 best selling videogame item this year on US amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2012/videogames/ref=zg_bsar_cal_ye#3

yeah, I know that represents very few units, but just the fact that it is ahead of Skyrim on the PS3 or just 4 places after U3 is just crazy to me.

I doubt PS2 and PSP are sometime back order. Anyone have insiders information?

I wonder when they will discontinue them.

They should change the name "PS2" to "PS3 backwards compatibility accessory"

Sales will explode overnight :P

So, is this supposed to be good or bad news?

On CAG theres a large thread of Gamestops marking new PS2s are used. The PS2s collect dust at my Wal-Mart.

US wise I am going to call BS on the PS2 demand, considering Gamestop is pretty damn big and so is Wal-Mart.

PSP I am going to agree with. We have a hard time keeping PSPs in stock. I honestly think the PSP could have another good year or so in it, but that's just me.

Other countries? I have no idea.

I have seen some people buying psp recently during vita launch due to 100 euro price tag and ultra cheap 10-20 euro games.

It makes sense -- i believe SONY is still selling ~4million PS2's a year, most of those are in poorer countries or countries with insane taxes on consoles, as such last-generation systems sell well.

I've been thinking about buying a slim PS2, so that makes some sense. But PSP...their plant can't manufacture more than 10 units a week?
