    PS2 outsold everything. This could be good for Sony, provided they still make money off of it. As long as the PS2 and Spider-Man 3 hold up Sony until Halo 3, Sony could end up with an invaluable advantage for the high stakes holiday battle of 07.

    I think Sony should ditch the PS3 and just add the cool features of the PS3 to the PS2. Except blu-ray. Then they would probably sell a lot more PS2’s than they are now, developers don’t have to learn how to make games for a new console, and the games will be guaranteed to be a success because there are so many PS2’s out there and it will probably take a long time to fade out. Nintendo has shown that graphics aren’t the greatest part of a console, its the game play. If they enhance the online experience, add Home, the PSP and the wi-fi features to PS2 and make games with really great gameplay, I doubt the PS2 could be beaten.
