I was thrilled to be able to pick up MLB 08: The Show for the PS2. I don’t own a PS3 to be able to enjoy this title. The PS3 has been out for 2 years and the PS2 aisle is getting smaller and smaller. I couldn’t even find a USB headset for a PS2 when I went looking for one a few weeks ago. Madden 09 is said to be released for the PS2. Will it be the last? Usually these types of big titles cease being produced by the 3rd year the next generation console is out. But with over 120,000,000 PS2’s in households, and the PS2 outselling the PS3, that trend might be erased.

These things are still attached to TV sets everywhere. Game publishers can still easily reach a large audience by continuing to publish games for the PS2. We might see games published well into the 2010’s. I’m glad. The PS2 is an amazing system and I’m not ready to let it along with all the stuff I’ve bought for it go yet.
