That said, I think Sony is almost forced to keep it alive right now. I fully believe if the PS2 were to be suddenly killed off those 200+ monthly sales would be split up between the 360 and Wii and that is something Sony does fear. Sony will kill of the PS2 right now if they were confident they would get the customers to convert to the PS3, but they know they wont.

Now be that I mean that it will forever live, in the from of 3rd party support. The DreamCast is the system a lot of companys are using in Japan as a jump off platform. With a new game coming out about every 4 month. Now once the "death of the PS2" finally comes around and little companys can get the development equipment for them cheap, we could see some of the best games for teh PS2. I, myself, enjoy importing said games and playing them. Under Defeat, that came out about a year ago on the DC, is one of the best DC games I've ever played. To gear up for this on the PS2 I bought a boot disk at OhyaoCon 2 weeks ago. I don't fear the impending "death," but embrace the coming "rebirth!" I think the PS2 will become the next DreamCast.
