For some consumers this is in fact a limitation, especially for the fans of titles such as Final Fantasy XI, which requires the use of this peripheral, and prevents the use of the official PS2 Linux kit.
Developers also complained that it was difficult to develop for the system, with little in the way of reference material from Sony for its exotic architecture.
To this day, the PS2 holds the record for the most consoles sold in a single day as well as the record for most consoles sold in launch day in America.
The device was poorly received, with some major features absent from the first revisions of the hardware, and has thus far experienced very weak sales in Japan, in spite of major price drops [5].
Since the V12 version had already been established for this model, there were some disputes regarding these sub-versions.
The machine's future continues to be uncertain, with North American and European launches considered to be distant if at all.
Hardware sales remained strong until 2004 saw the console apparently approaching saturation point.
