Sony haven’t forgot about there current best selling console, the Playstation 2 and have agreed to support PS2 hardware for at least one further year.

With the launch of the Playstation 3, it was believed that Sony would ditch the PS2 hardware. But recently releases this:

"We still are going to support PS2 hardware for the full year, we still have a number that is rather bullish, we're not backing off on hardware and we think the software tail will be very strong,".

In other words, a year from now, the company will be hoping that gamers still considering buying PS2 hardware will be persuaded to go for the newer machine instead. Naturally, Sony still intends to sell plenty of new games to the PS2 fan base as well.

Whether that perception shift is accomplished through more must-have games appearing for the PS3 or by the seeming triumph of Blu-ray over HD DVD, it will definitely have to be accompanied by a lower price for the console as well.

This news should be welcomed by all PS2 gamers that the Playstation 2 is still much alive and kicking.
