Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

If you already have games it becomes an easier argument. Not always. I still have some 3DS games that I never got rid of when I got rid of the console, I would like another console but the prices…
That being said if my PS2 or 3 die, I’m replacing.

PS2 and ps3 games can be reliable emulated these days. No sense in giving Sony more money.

Are Sony still selling new PS2s and PS3s? I think we can only buy them secondhand now, which means Sony already got whatever money they were going to get a long time ago.
Also, while the top sellers work reliably, unless something big has changed in the last year or so, plenty of PS2 games still don’t work right in emulators, and even have game-breaking bugs. I have a large collection of PS2 games, and many of them are awful or unplayable in emulation.
