PlayStation 2 Is Officially Dead In Japan

After nearly 13 years in market, Sony has finally decided to stop releasing new PlayStation 2 consoles in Japan.

PlayStation 2 is one of the most successful consoles ever with more than 150 million units sold since its launch in March 2000. The iconic console even managed to outsell PlayStation 3 during its first 3 years in market.

Believe it or not, new PlayStation 2 AAA titles have been released well into 2012. The last of which was Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin, released last March.
