That's a terrible analogy. Outdated computers become shitty because the software that's produced eventually stops working on said old computer.
the PS2 is a standalone console, so that doesn't apply. In the same vein that previous consoles with good games (almost all of them, let's ignore shit like the Jaguar) aren't automatically rendered 'shitty' because games aren't produced for them any more. To say that something becomes shitty over time, when the only thing that really factors in is passing time would be really fucking stupid.
