I'll believe them when they say that their source is Sony. Everyone else seems to have no problem with that news but you. In any case, it's not like you can buy a PS2 new at Gamestop or EbGames anyway.

And? Because I can buy a new in every place here in Brazil... there are even a box cover based in a animation movie I will take a picture to you when I go to the shopping this weekend.

And Sony is shipping PS2... or did you think Sony can ship without retail orders? Sorry your way to think makes no sense in this case.

Care to explain why neither GameStop not EbGames have PS2s for sale new?

And once more - shipping PS2s doesn't mean that production hasn't stopped. They still have warehouses filled with this thing.

Because it is US... I think this is pretty know that PS2 didn't sell more in US.

No. They not have enough warehouses to stock over 3 million consoles... remember they have to stock PS3, PSP, PSV, etc too.

Won't Sony just go back to loses in the next quarter again?

The PS2 is still selling in developing countries. 

EbGames is Australia. You can't buy one from GameStop UK or ShopTo either. Or from Micromania in France. Are you going to tell me that it's only Brazil that get's new PS2s? Where did the hell did you get that they need to be able to stock 3M consoles at once?

Yeah - one has to ask - how much. Clearly, not enough since Sony decided to cease PS2 production worldwide.

Over 3 million for year... that was the projection for PS2 sales made by Sony in March, 2012.

There even shipped more than that because PS3 is down yoy... if PS2 shipped less than 3 million then the PS3 is flat or up yoy (we know that is false).

And Sony is producing PS2 yet.

I will make easy to you.

PS2 is not sold anymore in NA, EU, Austraia and Japan... it is still sold in Asia, Mid-east and LA... all the developing countries still have PS2 on sale.

Sony still make PS2 in Manaus and I'm pretty in others countries listed above.

Do you wanna make a bet? Next quarter Sony will show PS2 shipment again... that my claim.
