    LMFAO PS2 still outselling the PS3

    drktrpr1, the PS2 is much cheaper than the PS3 and has a solid software library and great games are still coming out for it.

    Anywho, wow at the increase in sales for the Wii. Shows what just one game can do. Imagine when SSBB, Super Mario Galaxy and the plethora of other games are released…

    I fully expect the PS2 to outsell the PS3 this year.

    Dragon Quest always = money in Japan. They f’n love that stuff.
