Hardware sales remained strong until 2004 saw the console apparently approaching saturation point.
During one week in November, sales in the entire country of Britain totalled 6,000 units - compared to 70,000 a few weeks prior.
The PlayStation 2 had a difficult start.
A product named HD Connect can be soldered into the unit giving hard drive support though.
This allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlayStation.
Two propositions were to name the old model (EE and GS, separate chips) V11.5 and the newer model V12, and to name the old model V12 and the newer model V13.
Sony also advertised heavily as well and it had the advantage of being supported by Electronic Arts.
