I think so, devs included. I have nothing against the PS2, but sometimes things just need to be dropped and forgotten about. Now is that time. |
'Brutal honesty' is generally used to describe a truth that's both hard to say and hear. It seems entirely inappropriate considering the topic at hand is about a piece of hardware. I was also not aware of any posters who hadn't accepted the fact that the PS2 was eventually going to stop selling.
PS2 sales are naturally going to wind down, but devs will still make games for the console if they sell, and retailers will still sell them if it makes them money. "The PS2 is a unique one -- we still generate a whole lot of profit off PS2 sales." That's why it hasn't been dropped and forgotten yet, at least not entirely in first world countries, probably still has a bit of life in it yet to sell in poorer markets.

The DS is already 8 years old, and has shelves of games at my local store. I think we will.
So the supreme king is handing over the throne for Wii U.

WiiU as powerful as PS2 officially confirmed!

I'm amazed it's still selling in the States, or any of the major VG markets for that matter. It's lasted two generations and is only just starting to be dropped from stores?!

Probably not. I think Sony is really the only one committed enough to its hardware to pull something like that off. Who knows though, the other two might also change if there found themselves in that position (again, for the case of Nintendo, last time was the NES). |
Nes was manfactured from 1983-2003 thats 20 yrs and nintendo supported repair for it untill 2007
Snes was manufactured from 1990-2003 repair support utill 2007

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.
