But there was one thing you did not fight me on, and I found out this is good argument against dropping the PS2. How much do you think it will actually cost to change the programming and erasing all the data to remove any kind of support for the PS2? My friend pointed out that it would be "very" costly. He gave me rough numbers, but it was a strong point why SE didn't decide to drop the PS2 for FFXI but instead go with a new MMO. To be blunt, they would not make a profit in a year's time.
Well considering how that other MMO is going, they probably should've just dropped ps2 support for this.
