I see what you mean Josh. I think that could be easily fixed by having developers stop making PS2 ports of the newer games. Sure it sucks but every console has to die eventually and the way Sony sales have been going it’s looking like the PS2 will still be on store shelves on PS4 release day.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing but older generations need phasing out. Now that the PS3 is priced more competitively that’s more likely to happen but game devs have to abandon the console before the people will.
