Playstation 2 lives on

Magicbox reported;

"Sony's president Kazuo Hirai announced that the company will strengthen the PS2 software lineup, due to continuous high demands of the console, even after shipping 120 million units worldwide. Sony will publish numerous game titles for PS2, and they expect the life time of PS2 to last much longer than PSone."

I always did think that the last generation (PS2, Xbox, etc) of consoles were super seeded too quickly, even the PS2, which had been around for a lot longer than the Xbox. The console life spans are getting longer with each generation, I don't think the new generation should be replaced until they've been alive for 10 years. It says here that they expect the life of the PS2 to go on for a long time. I bet you they didn't "expect" this fact until recently, when they saw how badly the PS3 has been doing. When the PS3 came out, all the PS2 stuff dropped in price, and many who don't care about being on the bleeding edge have used this opportunity to get some great games for cheap. The Playstation 2 is still the best console out there, and it will always have the largest sales figures, even at the end of the Xbox 360s life.
