yeah right. Gamecube went down to 25 bucks used(50 new) before it stopped selling.

Not really, that was more of a clearance sale price (ie the price they put it to when they want to clear out the very last stock) So yes PS2 will have another price cut, but it won't last more than 1-2 million sales max at that final price.

 



The ps2 (and the 6th gen) will die at the end of the current gen.



^ just PS2 will end next year june or so, the rest of 6th gen been dead long time

It had a temoprary drop in February for the Americas last year, and easily outsold the PS3 and 360 because of it.

NPD Jan

PS2 - 264k
PS3 - 269k
360 - 230k

NPD Feb

PS2 - 352k
PS3 - 281k
360 - 255k

It won't do that this time of course, because last year it was still selling well with the HD twins.... this year it has fallen.... we could see a ~50-75% jump early on, but that still only brings it to about half the PS3 sales. (talking monthly here, as the first week of the drop could be bigger than 75% jump over th previous week.



I figured $130 was the final price, apparently not.
