Sony’s PS2 Almost Got Banned
The PS2’s CPU was so powerful, it scared governments. Officials literally thought doomsday was coming.
The PS2’s main processor was extremely advanced for its time, so much so that it was briefly labeled as sensitive technology.
It had the kind of processing power that could be used for missile guidance, radar systems, and even nuclear simulations.
In theory, officials worried someone could buy thousands of PS2s and connect them into a distributed supercomputer.
Because of this, Sony had to work with governments and navigate strict tech export laws to prove that the PS2 was meant for entertainment.
