Might be good for Sony's bottom line in a downed economy because the PS2 doesn't lose them $. But, thinking of the longer term this sets them back further this generation. If someone is buying a PS2 they likely won't buy a console for a couple of years. That's 2011 and I suspect Wii2, Xbox3 will be coming to market about the same time. Maybe Sony is hoping for the laggerds and hoping that person next time will want a PS3 against the new consoles. So PS3 may well win this generation, when the competition moves onto the next gen...

Perhaps some of those PS2 sales could have instead been PS3 sales if backwards compatibility was still a feature of the "feature-rich" PS3.
