Backed up by a lot of hype, the PlayStation 2 was released in Japan on March 4, 2000. The console broke records by selling well over a million units in a matter of days. Sony struggled to keep up with the demand and initially shipped units with glitched memory cards. The Japanese PS2 used these memory cards with "Gate Way" technology, where it stored the drivers needed to run DVD movies. Later on Sony again had to deal with another bug in initial PS2 units, one which would allowed users to override the region coding system and play DVD movies regardless of region. When the PS2 was finally released in North America on October 26, Sony did away with the DVD playback issues by hard coding the drivers into the PS2 unit. Europe saw a release a month later.

Although the initial launch of the PlayStation 2 was a complete success, the console itself had its early share of problems. There are no doubts that the PS2 "Emotion Chip" was state of the art, but its design made things difficult for software developers who had grown spoiled by the simple development environment of the Sega Dreamcast. Rather then suffer the fate of the Sega Saturn, Sony opened up developer assistance forums, documentation, phone assistance and websites to provide the technical assistance needed for developers to create premium titles. However the initial batch of PS2 games where indeed a rushed effort.
