Sony has ceased shipping PS2s in Japan

Obviously SE is still supporting the PS2 in Japan with Adoulin, so we're not escaping "PS2 Limitations" anytime soon. I'm pretty sure we never will. Even when they finally cease support I doubt they'll put forth the time, money, and effort to do away with them. That is assuming they even know how. I know I'm pessimistic, but I think I'm being more realistic than those out there expecting hefty retooling and modernization.
