PS2 Benefits Aging Arcade Platform

SCE has decided to allow arcade game makers access to PlayStation2 circuit boards. Since the 128-bit next-gen console's specifications were announced, it has become increasingly apparent that home consoles were bypassing their arcade counterparts in the race for technological supremacy. The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports that SCE plans to take advantage of economies of scale by selling PlayStation2 boards to manufacturers as well as putting them in its own next-generation home console.
