PlayStation 2 Still Reigns Supreme
06/17/2009 Written by Kishen Patel
It’s no surprise that the PlayStation 2 is selling like hotcakes with its recent price drop. But the PS2 is not only winning in terms of sales, but also gaming usage time according to the latest Nielsen data. 
As seen in the chart above, the PlayStation 2 received the most playtime in comparison to the other consoles, leaving the 360 in a close second. While the PlayStation 3 is lacking severly in play time, a look at the PC chart may show a good outlook for the PS3′s future.
Reigning at the top of the PC chart is World of Warcraft and Second Life, both of which are MMOs. Since the PS3 is getting quite a number of MMOs, with one being completely free, the playtime for the PS3 might be rising dramatically in the near future.

@shadowjin and John Draisey
the support of older games and platforms is definitely the reason i went with sony over microsoft… i know that there will be a lot of support for this generation (ps3) when the new generation (ps4) comes. just like there is a lot of support for last generation (ps2) now.
