Eric Krangel from Business Insider writes: Earlier this week, Sony (SNE) cut the prices of its somewhat outdated PS2, to about $100. Sony's John Koller says it's about competing with Nintendo's (NTDOY) Wii: "I think you can look at the PS2 as the competitor to the Wii," he said. "If you look at the technology and types of games launching for the Playstation 2, it lines up much closer to the Wii than the Wii does to next generation consoles And the Playstation 2 has a significant advantage in terms of broader consumer appeal." Sorry, John. The PS2 doesn't compete with the Wii.

This statement was already proven wrong:

@ masterb8te

The link that you posted on KZ2 comment page don't work either.

i know, and here i was looking forward to the response:(

The PS2 is still getting respectable sales... the $100 PS2 can only mean sales will keep up.

That dosent mean its going to hurt Wii's sales too badly, if at all.
PS2 competes with all current gen consoles as there is no competition left in the previous gen.

Sales wise, no. Demographics wise? A lot more than the PS3 or 360.

The sales for the PS2 are dropping, dropping, dropping.
