PS2
it's good to see the PS2 selling so well, it means more great games for the upcoming year !
Re: PS2
Hmm.. I think you'll find it means more bilge for PS2 actually. There are one or two big titles clinging on in there to come out this year, but in the most part you can expect to see alot of budget shovelware and bad quality movie tie-ins. Software sales are slumping badly on PS2
Re: PS2
Mmmh you are right, but we had a lot of good stuff in EU coming from Japan this last year. Lots of good RPGs fox ex.
