Eventually Square Enix will have to choose between continuing FFXI or stop supporting the PS2. 5-10 years from now FFXI can still be chugging along, but do you honestly expect it to support the ps2 when gamers will have a PS4 in their homes?

IMHO the solution is simple: offer FFXI as downloadable content through the playstation network and let it work on the PS4. Then give all the PS2 players a free copy of FFXI for the pc, 360, or PS4 (they get to choose).

The argument for the continuation of the PS2 becomes more and more outrageous as time goes on.
