DESCRIPTION:\n\n	The PS2 was launched in March 2000 in Japan\, October i
	n North America and November in Europe. Sales of the console\, games and a
	ccessories pulled in $250 million on the first day\, beating the $97 milli
	on made on the first day of the Dreamcast. Directly after its release\, it
	 was difficult to find PS2 units on retailer shelves due to manufacturing 
	delays. Another option was purchasing the console online through auction w
	ebsites such as eBay\, where people paid over a thousand dollars for the c
	onsole. The PS2 initially sold well partly on the basis of the strength of
	 the PlayStation brand and the console's backward compatibility\, selling 
	over 980\,000 units in Japan by March 5\, 2000\, one day after launch. Thi
	s allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlaySta
	tion — another major selling point over the competition. Later\, Sony ad
	ded new development kits for game developers and more PS2 units for consum
	ers. The PS2's built-in functionality also expanded its audience beyond th
	e gamer\, as its debut pricing was the same or less than a standalone DVD 
	player. This made the console a low cost entry into the home theater marke
	t.\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	Source\n\n
