When the PlayStation 2 launched in Japan in March 2000, Sony sold 980,000 units over the opening weekend.
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.
Hardware sales remained strong until 2004 saw the console apparently approaching saturation point.
Only a few million users had obtained consoles by the end of 2000 due to manufacturing delays.
Yet, the PS2 initially sold well solely on the basis of the strength of the PlayStation brand and its backwards compatibility, selling over 900,000 units in the first weekend in Japan.
The machine's future continues to be uncertain, with North American and European launches considered to be distant if at all.
However the New Slim Silver Models have more issues with playing PlayStation games than the first PS2 revisions.
