I think that the positive changes are the key contributer to the PS2 not becoming outdated any time soon. I think gekko mentioned something about that. Most games in the PS2's first 6-8 months were very poor graphically (with the OBVIOUS exception of Gran Turismo 3) but now some games (MGS2, BG: DA, R&C, ICO) hold their own, graphically, aganist competing systems' games.

I don't know whether or not the PS2's hardware weakness will affect the system in the long run. If every XBox game starts to look like Halo 2 and every Gamecube game Metroid Prime, then the difference could be staggering. I figure PS2's software has kept it on top so far, and that's probably what, if anything, will keep it there.
