If you look at weekly software sales the PS2's sales are pretty low which would tell me that the remaining userbase for the PS2 is pretty small and/or inactive; as a guess I would say 20 to 30 Million with most of those gamers not putting too many hours into it on a regular basis.

^ If you ask me HappySquirrel their are a lot of PS2 owners who don't buy new released games anymore but secondhanded games or older ones (those who will not show up in the chartz).

Phew! I thought this was going to be another "129 million" versus "117 million" thing.

I agree with Happy Squirrel on the PS2 sales. I have 3 Gamestops in my area and they all have a nice big PS2 section with pre. played games. The new releases that it gets aren't as interesting as some of the classics it has or the greatest hits titles. (That's another big part of the section.)

Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games. If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

QFT. Plus, replaying good games is one of the major uses for my ps2.
