Slightly off-topic here, but I did read this on The Reg, that Sony just stopped production of the PSOne. I guess the PS2's next with PSP flying off the shelves and PS3 due up.

I donot agery that ps2 sony will stop producing ps2 games. Sony cannot ignore their coustomers. Yes ps3 will be a good console.But it will take time for ps3 to get into the homes. take a look at Xbox, many game companies are still releasing games for xbox even after xbox 360 has been released .So my guess is that they will keep releasing games for both ps2 and ps3 simultaniously till ps3 gets hold on the market. then slowly the will decrease the games released for ps2.


Take a look at my example.

Take for example the transition from 32 bit processor to 64 bit processor. If software companies like (M$) said they from now onwards our software will run only on 64 bit machines and asked us to buy only 64 bit comps how will you feel?? the same way even you might not go for a 64 bit system immediately but maybe after a year .
so how do companies tackle this problem?? they release two different softwares i.e., one for 32bit and one for 64 bit. so both the company and costumer are happy :D.

i donot agree with u on the point, that sony cannot ignore customers. first thing is that games are made by game cos and not by sony for their own consoles. so if a particular console has gone old and not many using it, the cos will not make games for that.

well u talking bout XBOX being old. yeah 2 or 3 yrs old it is. but how many versions does it have. THe XBOX, Xbox live and the recently XBOX 360. thats not old.

ok tell me this do u remember something called Playstation(now called PS1). are any of new games made for PS1???

this is the reason i am not buying consoles.atleast if ur pc becomes old u can use it for many different things. or give it to someone who just wants to use MS Office.

@moshel: The Xbox Live is NOT a different version of the Xbox. It's simply the multiplayer gaming service that MS offers to it's Xbox customers if they want to take their games online.

@tech-mastermind: It's Spring 2006 right now but there's no PS3. Sony announced at GDC that the PS3 will launch in November 2006.

Of course Sony/Other Game Companies will keep making PS2 games. It might not be for long but it will continue. In the case of the Xbox, the hardware is still capable of producing good graphics but the PS2 hardware is too old. On the other hand, there are almost 100 million people with PS2 consoles so Sony cannot ignore them after the PS3 comes out.

PS2 has aleardy gained too much popularity. All latest titles will be published for PS2 AND 3 simultaneously, so no worries?

Hmmm.... If so the quality of ps2 titles will be much compromised in front of their ps3 brethren..
