PlayStation 2 has been discontinued in Japan

[AaronSOLDIER]

It's the same with all PS consoles, PSP especially.

so will you all play your ps2 in memory of it... Or go to a second hand shop and pick one up

I know i will be playing mine for a while

[Foraeli]

I'm play HD collection on my PS3!

[AaronSOLDIER]

Yeah same, most of the PS2 games I enjoyed are either on PS3 in HD or in the PS2 Classics section, it's really only the Squaresoft and Square Enix games I'm waiting for now.

Most likely, this is inside information that probably wasn't supposed to get out before an official press release. It doesn't mean it has already happened and is more likely that it is something planned soon. It would be much bigger news if this was official. The PS2 is still selling a lot of units but Kaz probably needs to shut down factories, even if they are outsourced.

Viva la ps2

An End Of An Era

The end of an era. It was a great run for the PS2.

That will never be duplicated.

[Tven]

truelly an icon!

[AaronSOLDIER]

PS2 sales weren't even that bad, it was actually doing 3-4X better than 360 in sales, but obviously Sony needs to produce PS4s somewhere now and they won't axe PSP or PS3 just yet.

it was a good run
