Playstation sells 1M units in 2 days.

from the uh...were-out-of-playstation2s dept

The Sony Playstation 2 went on sale this Saturday and sold 1 Million units in 2 days. Not bad. It looks like the $350 pricetag has not scared away consumers. A more troubling question is whether Sony will be able to meet demand. Any suggestions Steve Jobs?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Isn't PS2 officially illegal to export? Interestin

    I'm fairly sure this is the case. I guess Sony isn't complaining.

    Then again, aren't all flea markets basically gray market?
