As for the future of the Playstation 2 I see it very good. The technology that sony has and will have is growing everyday. The PlayStation2 its self is a year old and still is toping the charts of sales. It was a good idea for the PlayStation 2 to be able to play the regular PlayStation games. This makes consumers happy because they dont have to buy all new games. They can play there old games on there new PlayStation. All though the sales may just level out i think the sales and future of the PlayStation 2 will stay steady till another PlayStation comes out.
