Sony sells 6 million Playstation 2 consoles a year and is clearly not interested in abandoning the hardware, but following these three simple steps towards a “PS2 Plus” could have sales of the PS2 actually increase.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Everyone: We want a Xenosaga Trilogy Remaster/Release/Remake!

Everyone: wtf?
Now now... guys... Maybe this is part of testing the waters for either a trilogy re-release , remaster, remake, or a reboot?
This article raises some good points but what they're essentially descrbing is a PS3ified PS2. Which leads me to ask: Why not just shove PS2 functionality in a new form PS3?
Very simple.
Make available as chipset for TV manufacturers.
Release PS2 games on USB. Every second LCD / LED comes with a USB port these days.
Viola - every PS2-enabled TV can play PS2 titles, and Sony can get royalties.
I can sum up what Sony should do in five words... BRING... BACK... PS2... BACKWARDS... COMPATIBILITY.
The original reason Sony took out Backwards compatibility was because when the PS3 released, more people were buying new PS2 games then PS3 games and playing them in the PS3.
Mostly because PS3 lacked titles, this isn't really an issue now, but I doubt Sony wants to throw out their cash milking cow with all these HD Remakes, if they put BC back in, then there wouldn't be a need for remakes anymore and they'd lose more money. Luckily, I have a BC PS3, which upgrades PS2 games to HD anyway.
I am buying a PS2 soon, the games are very cheap, £3.00 will get you a really good game.
