Military Fears Over PlayStation 2
Military fears over PlayStation2 Sony says it has sold 1.4 million consoles since launch Japan has imposed export controls on Sony's highly popular PlayStation2 games console, on the grounds that its components could be used for military purposes. Local media reports said the console and its 8MB memory card had been designated as "general-purpose products related to conventional weapons" because they contain components that could be used quickly to process high quality images - a characteristic of missile guidance systems.
A fake BBC News screenshot reports that Japan is restricting PlayStation 2 exports because the console could be used for military purposes. The joke exaggerates the PS2's graphics hardware and turns a gaming console into supposed missile-guidance technology, making it useful as an absurd reaction to something unexpectedly powerful or overengineered.
