When it comes to videogames, Sony’s PlayStation 2 has been going for a record nine years with no slowdown. Sony has sold over 130 million consoles and gamers are still snatching up the system at a rate of about 200,000 a month. That bodes well for game accessories makers, as well as PS2 consumers because there are plenty of accessories out there and a lot of choices.
Things should only get better once Sony drops the PS2 price down to $99 in 2008, opening up the floodgates to even more gamers late to join the bandwagon. In addition, there will be new Rock Band controllers, dance pads and steering wheels for some time to come as new games continue to expand the PS2 library, which is already the largest of any game console in history.
