Genius Sony has had an idea!
Sony is now is such a state of crisis you can see how it thinks.
It thought "Nintendo has made lots of girls like cute games. Let's capitalise on this by releasing a pink PlayStation2".
The pink PS2 - for the cute/girl demographic Nintendo invented, only a year too late. It's this sort of behind-the-curve thinking that will see PS3 limp to a miserable third place in the next-gen console war, even when Sony has the idea of doing a pink PS3 for girls in 2010.

More crap reporting.
Why is it a year too late? The PS2 is now perfectly positioned for such a thing that will help keep the console looking healthy for many years to come after your GC and Xbox is long forgotten about.
This is only seen as a bad move or "copying" to some nobody trying to spin a news story for the sake of spinning a news story.
Grow up. It's business, maybe you'll understand it one day.
Don't you actually need some cute/girly games to play on it too? Or does this automatically change all the sprites on "Conflict Vietnam" to fluffy puppies?
You need to grow down. It's fun. Maybe you'll understand it one day.
Oi! Anon up there!
Yeah, you at the top!
You sound like someone's shit in your cereal this morning.
Toodle off and get your nose in the Telegraphs Obituary section. That'll cheer you up.
I used to like Sony. Now they make me cringe. Sometimes I even vomit on myself in embarressment.
But does it CATCH ON FIRE?
As much as I hate Sony right now, I must state that they released a pink PS2 in Japan about 2 years ago. It was the old fat style unit, and it was called Sakura(cherry blossom). It was still shit though.
P.S) This word verification thing is proper pissing me off, I've tried to publish this 4 times already. A fucking U and a fucking V look the bleedin' same!!!
what kind of self respecting girl wants a pink ps2 anyway. girl power is like a decade old. thats nearly old enough to do naughty things to.
also, whoever that twat is at the top, how is a pink ps2 exactly going to keep the ps2 healthy when they are going to stop releasing games for the ps2 in about three months.
twat.
thats not me signing this comment twat but calling that guy a twat.

twat.
What most people, the guy at the top especially seem to fail to understand, is that this site is based upon SATIRE. As in HUMOUR. As in THEY TAKE THE PISS OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR LAUGHS. And on that level it works.
Anonymous, you fail at the internet.
Ta-ta!
From one anonymous to another. The anonymous at the top is a plonker.
Anonymous
they're getting all their paint by scraping out jordan's giant fanny.
I'm guessing the guy at the top is American.
That anonymous guy...
Lets get him! He looks like a grey guy with a question mark on his face.
They're doing a pink PSP too. The guardian page is depressing: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2006/08/21/sony_have_busy_day.html
-"Who should we get to market our new pink PSP?"
-"Pink?"
-"Give that man a bonus!"
Shouldn't this really be on UK:R?
It was deemed "too shoddy" for UKR.
Re:Jawa
So they're going to stop producing games for it in 3 months are they?
Uninformed idiots FTW! The PS2 will still be rocking for a few years yet.
And satire and humour? Someone needs to give this site a dictionary so they can find the meaning of those words. Not happening here!
Might actually work if you guys knew what you were talking about in the first place.
I recommend "Coco Pops".
That way, when you do find defecation-like-material in your morning bowl, there will be little chance of you being totally sure it is indeed botty-plop.
So the original Mr. Anonymous returns, to perform some damage limitation.
Hey kids, let's look at the method his brain went through to reach that last post!
"Uh-oh, now I look like an ass. Hmmm, perhaps if I try to make out the original post isn't funny, as opposed to me MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY, maybe I won't look so bad!"
What makes it even funnier is that the post was anonymous in the first place so he needn't bothered.
We must've shrunk his e-Penis or something.
if i were cleverer i would probably log in as anonymous and write disparaging remarks about myself. but im not in the least bit clever so all i can say is twat.
signed
idiot.
OH FUCK YEAH *ejaculates*
All I can think of is big pink thing and buzzing D(ildo)-shock controller!
Only fat gamefaqs nerds use FTW.
Lets hear it for fat gamefaqs nerds! yeah! yeah! USA USA! yeah!
oh hang on. thats not right.
At the risk of siding with the anonymous dude at the top (as such, you may call me "twat two"), I really do think that the PS2 has a couple of years left in it yet.
There are a lot of people who will've bought the mini-ps2 in the last year and they're not gonna throw it away just because the PS3 comes out. Also, many people will wait for either the PS3's price point to drop or for the first console revamp before they move to PS3. There will, therefore, be a demand for ps2 games over the next couple of years and it's stupid to suggest that nobody will attempt to meet this demand by supplying a couple of games.
So assuming that people *will* be using the Ps2 for a couple of years...and girls do love pink things...it seems only mildly stupid.
To the guy above this one:
The original anonymous was only a 'twat' because of the way he said what he said/actually took the news seriously.
Therefore, you win, while the other guy grows a penis on his forehead.
Hurrah!
"this site is based upon SATIRE."
what?
What, you don't believe this is ACTUALLY a gadget review site, do you? I'd have thought having the word 'cock' at the top was a bit of a giveaway!
Girls is probably not the only demographic target this color will appeal too. Heck, Sony could even dub it Gay Station. :-)
Maybe the article isn't completely serious, or it's meant to be amusing, but they probably still mean what they say, right? They're still making a point. Or am I just pointing out the obvious.
Anyway, one of my friends wants to get a pink PS2, so I guess it isn't a completely useless idea. She says pink electronics and such are good in that they won't get stolen, whether it's in the sense of actually being robbed, or when a boyfriend or brother comes over and start playing some silly man-game on it (lol), so you can have it to yourself 24-7. I agree about the problem that there aren't many girly/cute games to play on the PS2, though... 'Whoo, my console's pink. Now to go blow the heads off some Nazis. Yeah.'
