Also in case someone brings it up, xbox controllers use XInput, not DirectX, so fully utilizing directX 9 would not, for instance, solve the xbox controller troubles some people have complained about.

Still, it's more likely to happen if the PS2 is removed from the picture than if it isn't. Cynicism isn't a justification for continuing to support an ancient platform.
Nor is it justification for ending support for an allegedly ancient platform in one region when support for that platform is continued in another region.
