PS2 still has its worth.. its simpler to use.. especially for kids to play.. and easy for beginners..also it have more 2 player games To choose from... its small light n very easy to bring around as well..

if you r not in a hurry with the latest console n want to experience gaming at a good price.. ps2 is a good deal.. most great titles from PS3 comes from PS1 n 2...

ps3 games more for 1 player.. and user interface is not easy to navigate for childrens.. even adults that is not Computer literate also find it difficult to use the menus..

5yrs old can tell the difference which has better looking graphics.. but to understand the menus for both.. PS 2 is easier n less menus and options.. not all kids even know how to install the game on the Hard Disk..

other reasons kids prefer the ps2 better in Malaysia is that they can buy the game them selves with pocket money or choose any they like n parents dont mind buying.. coz in malaysia got "ahem" game... compared to PS3 which is expensive..
