Well, it looks like it wasn't only in Japan, that Sony finally decided to kill the PS2 production.
According to The Guardian, the PlayStation 2 manufacture has ended after 12 years, worldwide.
It was the console that defined an era � but now Sony's PlayStation 2 has finally reached game over. The company has confirmed to the Guardian that after 12 years and 150m units sold worldwide, making it the most successful home games machine of all time, all PS2 production has ended worldwide.
Launched in 2000, the successor to the original PlayStation ended up with a library of more than 10,000 games titles by 2011, with 1.52bn individual games sold since launch.
