PS2 Potential Risk to National Defense
Japan restricted exports of the PS2 because its performance is so good that it could be used in missile guidance systems. The measure aims to prevent the technology from falling into the hands of figures like Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi.
The government asked for the PS2's performance to be degraded, but Sony refused to lower the performance for the sake of the product. Also, the PS2 with its advanced encryption technology is a matter of great concern.
