The 7 year old console is still going strong. The new model will have a few more features, and plans to outsell the PS3.
Sony Japan has announced yet another release of it’s seven year old console, the PS2, in Japan. The new model will weigh only a mere 1.2 pounds and comes with the power adapter built right into the system. Sony says it will allow gamers to be more portable with the machine. It will go on sale in Japan on November 22 for about $140 (16,000 yen), unchanged from the price of the previous model. Sony says overseas shipment will occur, but the time frame for this even is yet to be decided.
The PS2 is far from dead, and will be for as long as the PS3 stays at such a high price for general gamers (nearly 3 times the price of the PS2). Worldwide, Sony has shipped a total of over 120 Million units thus far, and plans to sell another 12 million by March, while in the same time period plans on selling around 11 million PS3 units.
