The PlayStation 2 holds the record of fastest selling video game console ever, 100 million PlayStation 2 units were shipped in only five years and nine months, shattering the previous record of nine years and six months by the PlayStation.
The PlayStation 2 had a difficult start.
With a price of $299.99 per console, Sony made gross sales of roughly $153,000,000.
After an apparent manufacturing issue caused some initial slowdown in producing the new unit, Sony reportedly underestimated demand, caused in part by shortages between the time the old units were cleared out and the new units were ready.
V3 has a substantially different internal structure from the subsequent revisions, featuring several interconnected printed circuit boards.
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.
Currently, most people just use V12 for both models, or V12 for the old model and V13 for the newer one.
