In September 2004 Sony unveiled the third major hardware revision (V12, model number SCPH-70000).
This allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlayStation.
When it was released, the PS2 had many advanced features that were not present in other contemporary video game consoles, including its DVD capabilities and USB and IEEE 1394 expansion ports.
Currently, most people just use V12 for both models, or V12 for the old model and V13 for the newer one.
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].
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.
V10 and V11 have minor changes.
