Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
This allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlayStation.
Although Sony placed little emphasis on online gaming during its first year, all that changed because of the launch of the online-capable Xbox.
As of V4 everything was unified into one board, except the power supply.
Sony also advertised heavily as well and it had the advantage of being supported by Electronic Arts.
There are also some disputes on the numbering for this PS2 version, since there are actually two sub-versions of the SCPH-70000.
When the PlayStation 2 launched in Japan in March 2000, Sony sold 980,000 units over the opening weekend.
