Reply to comment by imunicrons in TIL that Sony released in 2010 a 22" HD-Ready TV (Sony Bravia KDL-22PX300) with a build-in PlayStation 2 in its stand! by Vekin03
Read the article maybe?
> The question was: why did Sony decide to market a television with an integrated PS2 more than four years after the release of its PS3?
> To answer this question we have to look further in the past. In that year Sony released a refurbished PS2, the PS2 Slim, to boost sales again. Technically, the PS2 was sold until 2013. More than seven years after the introduction of the PS3. However, after the introduction of the PS3, the PS2 was particularly popular in emerging economies such as Brazil and other parts of Latin America. In Japan, the US and Europe, the interest of many gamers had already turned to the new PS3.
> The story goes that Sony had a surplus of PS2 hardware for the European PAL region. The company may have expected a more gradual transition from current to next-gen and thereby overproduced PS2 hardware. It now sought a way to get rid of its redundant hardware without having to write it all off or dump it somewhere in the sea.
PS3 was $499 at launch ($640 adjusted for inflation) meanwhile the PS2 was just $99 in 2010.

Nobody reads the articles, nobody has time to spend 20 minutes reading every article they come across that piques their interests, some people just want to ponder out loud or create a discussion, stop being so condescending and relax

The lack of self-awareness is astonishing.

it's literally two paragraphs in, you could've taken half the time finding this information for yourself rather than writing this reply complaining about someone who wasnt even talking to you

Then they should go look at memes or YouTube shorts and leave the reading and discussions to others.

Mesa sold the Mk III and MK IV Boogies for several years in the 90's as well, but stopped marketing the III. i guess they were just trying to use up old stock? it was the only model that they did this with though
