Why more games are coming out for PS2 than other consoles:
1. Established user base, more users=more sales
2. Programmers for the console are easier to come by, more programmers avaible=more departments that can have them (meaning more games that *can* be made)
3. Game development takes time, that time factor isn't there for X-Box and Game Cube.
4. You can really show off with second gen games, whereas first gen games you're still 'feeling out' what the console can and can't do.
5. Sony 0wnz j00! (or at least the game maker houses)

Why there isn't a PS2 emulator:
1. It takes quite a bit of power emulate nextgen game systems, not sure that kind of hardware is out there for the average user
2. The hardware inside the PS2 is fairly complicated
3. There's properitary harware inside that will have to be reverse engineered
4. Sony is sue crazy
