I know Sony is still selling the PS2 really well at retail stores, but is it in Sony's overall best interest to keep selling the old system instead of pushing the PS3 more?

(Note - I'll add more, just wanted to start this topic) hahaha

I think that until either the price point of a new PS3 drops further, or Sony is able to win the popular image battle in the console wars, it's wise of them to keep selling a system that's proven. Nintendo did the same thing for a few years after the SNES was released, rolling out a top-loading NES alongside their new system.

Personally, I'm intrigued by the commitment that the PS3 is making to original disc-based titles like LittleBIGplanet, Heavy Rain, Heavenly Sword and Cross Edge, which seems to be a bigger commitment than either Microsoft or Nintendo has made. It seems that Sony got off on the wrong foot PR-wise though, and I don't blame them for continuing production of the PS2 while they try to get back on solid ground.

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!
