profit wise, every nintendo console has done wise.
tech wise, the ps2 is likely only the modern console to do so. nes and super nes had great "last years" games. most consoles just sorta conk out. but the ps2 STILL has titles hitting it, which is really unlike anything ever seen before so late in the span.
when was the last game anyone actually wanted to buy for a ps2 tho.....
unlike snes...nes had must haves....
most new ps2 games are just crappier clones of wii and ps3 games...
