Since the V12 version had already been established for this model, there were some disputes regarding these sub-versions.
PS2's opening day console sales eclipsed the previous record of 225,000 made by the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.
These included a PCMCIA slot instead of the Expansion Bay (DEV9) port of newer models.
In preparation for the launch of a new, slimmer PlayStation 2 model (SCPH-70000), Sony had stopped making the older PS2 model (SCPH-5000x) sometime during the summer of 2004 to let the distribution channel empty out stock of the units.
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.
The machine's future continues to be uncertain, with North American and European launches considered to be distant if at all.
This led to further shortages, and the issue was compounded in Britain when a Russian oil tanker became stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking a ship from China carrying PS2s bound for the UK.
