I'm confused as to why ps2 was discontinued when ps3 has no bc.

Any thoughts?

Perhaps they have finally solved the software emulation for ps3?

Of course there is the secondary market, what I'm asking is why sony is abandoning a revenue stream.
Surely there is still profit to be made somehow.

ebay or kijiji - I've found some as low as $30

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

What I really wish Sony did was add a HDMI to the PS2 for the last run. None of these newer TVs even have SVideo anymore, hell component is rare to.

It's just that simple.
