After 12 years and 9 months on the market and 21.8 million units sold, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. has announced today that they will no longer be shipping new PlayStation 2 units to stores in Japan.

Japan is the first region where the PlayStation 2 has been officially discontinued. At least one new release is scheduled for 2013, with the latest Final Fantasy XI expansion, Seekers of Adoulin due in March.

So if you, like me, still have a ton of import PlayStation 2 games you want, you should probably get on it.
