You say they will lose revenue, but as we saw a few pages back: It takes roughly 387 player accounts to pay the salary of just 1 ( grossly underpaid ) programmer, and 1 ( again underpaid ) tester. In real life though, I think we all know that there is a lot more overhead involved in running this game than just 2 guys in a room. So by cutting the costs of PS2 programming, they would have to lose a ton of players to even make it a wash. If a lot don't quit, its automatic profit.
The only reason I see them keeping PS2 is to keep an image with people who are Sony brand loyal.
