Sony lowered the PlayStation 2 price

Sony has decided on April 20 that the company will lower the retail price of the PlayStation 2 to only $ 130 compared to the latest price of $ 180. Sony hopes that at such a low price, it will be possible to sell to the last PlayStation 3 PlayStation PlayStation fans to be sold.

The PlayStation 2 is still considered the most popular professional gaming machine in the world today, especially popular in North America, Australia, Asia (especially Japan). To date, a total of 101 million PlayStation 2s have been sold worldwide with nearly 1 billion copies of the game sold. This is a record of a professional gaming machine, but it is unlikely that any machine can break down in the near future.

NPD Group said that the PlayStation 2 has accounted for 55.6% market share of game consoles in the US market, while the market share of games for this system has reached a rate of 70% until March. by.

Kaz Hirai, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said: ' While we are constantly improving the new generation PlayStation 3 gaming machine before launching it, we always focus on taking care of it. Double your customers by creating optimal conditions for people who can own PlayStation 2 as well as always launching new titles to meet the growing needs of every gamer . Sony is currently focusing on the online gaming area for its PlayStation 2 with popular game titles like the EyeToy .

Sony is preparing to launch a massive promotion for this "big sale" on April 27 with the hope of "scooping up" for the final fans. This is also a great way to 'crack' Xbox 360 customers before the PlayStation 3 is released later this year.
