The PSX is a Sony digital video recorder with a fully integrated PlayStation 2 home video game console. It was released in Japan on December 13, 2003. Since it was designed to be a general-purpose consumer video device, it was marketed by the main Sony Corporation instead of Sony Computer Entertainment and does not carry the usual PlayStation branding. Initial sales were strong, with the console selling 100,000 units during its first week, thus selling out.[2] Its high cost, however, resulted in poor sales later on,[3] prompting Sony to cancel plans to release the PSX outside Japan.[citation needed] After the price had been lowered in September 2004, sales increased again.[4]
