It's a "new" console in Brazil. Joystiq put up a article talking about how folks were paying way too much for them too.

I'd imagine people are buying them again because they can't play all those awesome games on their PS3s. Life just wouldn't be worth living without an annual dose of Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Okami, Zone of the Enders, and *insert irreplaceable PS2 game here*.

@ EvoHelix - Brazilian PS2 sales don't factor into the Japanese numbers.

PS2 are cheap, that's why. When it breaks they get a new one to play all the games they have since the PS3 won't now. Plus isn't the thing hacked.

I work for a website the offers used appraisals for everything except cars (due to Kelly Blue Book licensing) and we work closely with pawn dealers as pricing points to help gauge used values. You would not believe how many PS2s are sold. I know this is in no relation to retailers but these things fly like hot cakes. It's amazing how many people still want a PS2.

And has been for several weeks now. The PSP Go was an instant bomb in Japan.

Short answer: HELL YEAH

(Also, changes to a gun for your monster-smoking pleasure.)

There's probably another sword in the game, if you want a Bleach alternative.

Go PS2! Never die! Carry on the sixth generation forever, and finally steal that 'longest produced' crown from the Atari 2600!

It depends on how you look at it. Combined, the DS is far outselling the PSP.

@ sntothemax again - You know, looking deeper into your comment, it was perfect and I was foolish to try and one-up you. I chose the lesser interpretation, and I feel I've failed.

Easily digestible? When Rhea gave Cronus that emetic, those gods came up completely undigested. Heck, they weren't even chewed.

My mistake; it was Zeus, not Rhea. Still, after all the time it took Zeus to grow up, his brothers and sisters hadn't been digested at all, so my point still stands.

I'm not sure God Eater is as amazing as it sounds. I think in japan everything has a god. The mountain. The forest. The tree. The rock. Rock Eater doesn't sound so impressive though.

Humorous article.

I really enjoyed the highlighted link to Cronos, which led to clicking on the link to Uranus (thats hell when your son cuts your penis off!), which then caused me to want to look at a link about Gaia, which then made me click on the term Choas, which of course made think of Kratos now I've got God of War 3 on the brain...

Thanks a lot Joystiq writers I have now wasted 1 hour of my workday completely off task...

j/k :)
