Regardless of where you stand, it’s undeniable that this year was pretty rough on Sony, especially after the price of the PS3 was announced at E3. However, Sony does have one beacon of hope left, the PS2.

Business Week predicts that the PS2 will outsell the next-gen (now current-gen) systems through 2007, and maybe even 2008. They’ve been quoted as saying: ”Despite all the hype surrounding the PS3, its predecessor is likely to outsell it for two more years … The PS2 probably has the capacity to sell more than any other gaming console.”
I’d say it’s plausible that PS2 can hold the fort until PS3 can get some killer-aps under it’s wing. Although I still believe PS3 will have a lot of catching up to do next year.
