Let's say 20 years down the road would it be conceivably possible that the playstation 2's library of standard games ever become expensive or replicate the renaissance the NES/SNES is currently living right now? Or is this just a fantasy assumption that the PS2 would ever enjoy the Inflated prices? Will it still be more or less worthless? |

as the players get older and have nostalgic memories of the games they played on PS2 it is a possibility that some games will shoot up in value due to the demand. There's already games valuable on PS2, GC and XBOX. And if 6th Gen games start to become Nostalgic then it wouldn't surprise me if the games that hold some value today might triple in cost in 20 years. |

Disk-based games are also not as durable as cartridges. |

And that games back then would be in much smaller quantities, sometimes the games wouldn't even get an offical release date just sold when the game ships in? |

I think prices will rise overall once the now 16 to 24 year olds that grew up with the system get careers and start using all their disposable income to relive their childhood. That is what is happening with the NES, SNES, TG16, and to a lessor degree the Genesis right now. It happened with Atari 2600 about a decade ago as well. Like the NES/SNES some common games will become inflated, but for the most part the uncommon and rare stuff will likely skyrocket as it has on 8/16 bit consoles right now. Look at what PS1 prices do in the next three years, that will be the PS2 in about 10-years most likely. |
