PlayStation 2 Sales Reach 10mn Units Friday, March 23, 2001 TOKYO (Nikkei)--Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. said Friday that shipments of its PlayStation 2 home-use video game machines have surpassed 10 million units worldwide, but admitted they were still more than 1 million down on initial targets. Sales took around one year to reach the 10 million mark compared with nearly two years for the first PlayStation model. The shipment delays were due to problems with production of semiconductor parts. That resulted in lower-than-expected sales when it hit the U.S. market in October and debuted in Europe in November. Although PS2 has been in short supply in Japan, delays in releasing games are dampening the enthusiasm of consumers. The Sony Corp. (6758) group's game software sales are set to decline 15% from a year earlier in the year through March 31. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Saturday morning edition)

Hi jim kelley; Actually, I can only get information from SI back a few years. As far as the net goes, it is almost impossible to find specific information dating as long ago as 1992. In the far future, the historians are going to classify history as before or after the internet because of the differences in how historical information is available. About half the problem is that there is no easy way to search for information that predates a given date. So when you do a search for "Rambus architecture", for instance, you get swamped with hits from 1999-2000. -- Carl
