Sony: Full PlayStation 2 Support to Continue in 2010
For those who don’t yet own a PS3, it’s nice 
to know that Sony intends to continue fully supporting the PS2 console in 2010.
Sony is seeking to emphasize that the PlayStation 2 has an extensive game library in comparison to the Nintendo Wii.
SCEA’s head of PlayStation marketing John Koller told GamePro in a recent interview
“We have a very firm stance – we’re going to continue to support the PS2 wholeheartedly.”
“The PS2 obviously had a price drop this year, which gets forgotten because of the PS3 noise, but it’s still selling exceedingly well. It’s a new demographic, a consumer that’s maybe a ‘lost gamer’ or a consumer that’s new to gaming.
“With this economy, coming in at $99, a lot of these consumers are choosing between a PlayStation 2 and a Wii, and you’re looking at a PS2, which is $99 and carries 2000 games.
“It’s been a very, very strong year with the PS2, and we’re going on our tenth year. It’s pretty unprecedented, and we’re not looking to slow down anytime soon. Next year will be another year where the PS2’s going to be fully supported. A lot of key games and titles are coming, both first and third-party. It’s going to be another big year for the PlayStation 2.”
