But you have to admid that its also funny that people on vgchartz are the only persons who try to defend a 12 year old koma patient. Nowhere not even in sonyforums people try to deny simple facts as they are! You have absolutley NO proof that the PS2 is still in production! Like a person here posted before: I can freese 100 Pizzas and sell 1 each year! And YOU call everybody a "phonemonkey" wich says the PS2 is discontinued! You do not even want to phone them! You think YOU know more than the european Sony branch?? This is redicolous! But go on, live in YOUR dreamworld where many PS2´s are still the conveyor belt! You even critisise the reliability of vgchartz. But, these people are phonemonkeys who do not know anything :) :)!

HAHAHAHA you are a joke poster you must be surely. It's so sad that you are in denial and think it's only 'a few posters on Vgchartz' that are the only ones saying differently when the truth is it's only a few ignorant people like you who believe rumours that say the PS2 is discontinued whilst everybody else thinks and says the PS2 is still being made.

It's not my opinion that Vgchartz ps2 numbers are wrong, THE OWNER OF THE SITE HIMSELF HAS SAID THE PS2'S NUMBERS ARE WRONG AND OUT OF DATE.

Wether you like it or not Sony's fiscal numbers are more important than some random people who you supposedly spoke to on the phone, YOU THINK YOU KNOW MORE THAN SONY THE COMPANY THEMSELVES? HAHAHA

YOU HAVE NO PROOF JUST HEAR SAY, DEAL WITH IT.

You can post the same source as often as you like! vgchartz was not the first one talking about the production stop! There is NO SIDE where people are so much after a 12 year old maxed out console like here on vgchartz! You start to get more and more agressive! Please take care of yourself!! It is like saying a soccerteam will win a match when it is behind 0-2 in the 93rd minute! Or a dying old over 90 year old patient who is doing it´s final breaths and i would say "He will do it for more than 3 more years!" Name me ONE PS2 EXCLUSIVE title that was released in 2012, please!

To end this up you, we can make a little bet (if you dare): If the PS2 is NOT done at latest 2013 i loose, ok?! If it IS done, you lose!! MARK MY WORDS! I think it would be no problem to find this out! The looser requests bann, ok??

And you post no reliable source, you have no proof, it is just your hear say. People don't buy the PS2 for new games, they buy PS2's to play old games so yet again you have no point. I don't know when the PS2 will end production but when it does end SONY WILL SAY SO IN AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. Ban bets are for babies, grow up.

Lol, this guy is just something else isn't he?

You are saying the PS2 is no longer being produced. Prove it. The burden of proof is on you. Show us reliable links for your "facts".

It also doesnt need exclusives. It now thrives in smaller markets with a Yearly FIFA/ Pro Evo update... And theres a new Final Fantasy releasing for it next Year

Really?  I'm a Sony guy and I haven't heard about that.  What's it called?

Edit: Or is that a joke that went completely over my head? 

@cookingyourmama
So in other words, you don´t dare! Alone this tells me that you are not sure YOURSELF about the status of PS2! I have no problem getting banned, but as i can see you reply rather fast! This comunity seems to be a passion of you! I also enjoy it here but obviously you seem to spend much more time here than me! I mean i don´t wanna accuse you something, but this seems a little strange to me!

@Carl2291
"It now thrives in smaller markets with a Yearly FIFA/ Pro Evo update"- You do not belive yourself that the PS2 will get a yearly FIFA/PES update for another 5 years? :):) Sorry not even Psone did it longer than 12 years!
I already showed you sources! When the PS1 was discontinued there was also stated over 100 Million sold and there was no official "aftershow party"! The sources i posted where clear:

http://www.playm.de/2012/11/playstation-2-produktion-wird-endgultig-eingestellt-61023/

You will read: "Wie Sony heute mitteilte, wird die Produktion der Playstation 2 entgültig eingestellt."- Wich means Sony announced, that the production of the PS2 will be discontinued! "In den zwölf Produktionsjahren wurden 154 Millionen Exemplare der Konsole gebaut und verkauft."- In the 12 years of production 154 Million consoles have been built and sold (gebaut und verkauft)! I am just analysing this article for you! I do NOT flame or bash! Can you find ANY evidence of "This is just a rumor and has not been officially been confirmed" inside here? Ask pezus if you do not belive ME he is german and can translate for you! Tell me: WHY SHOULD I BELIVE, THAT THE PS2 IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION WHEN I READ THIS??- Because SIR DR PROF MISTER I KNOW EVERYTHING AND DON`T BELIVE IN RUMORS cookingyourmama says so?? I just post what i read! I would be a SONYFANBOY if i said something else!! So, if there is any evidence that this is a rumor, PLEASE show me any source that denies this: For example: Twitter message just a rumor- PS2 still in production!

Ps: I am NOT a Sonyhater, i have all P-Stations (Tekken Tag Tournament 1 is still my favourite Beatém up!!)

No i don't make ban bets FULL STOP, they're immature and childish.... i can see why you like them. You post nothing but rumors, speculation and hear say, THAT DOES NOT PROVE YOU RIGHT AT ALL.

EITHER POST AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM SONY THAT THEY HAVE STOPPED PRODUCTION OF THE PS2 OR GO AWAY.
