wasn't the PS2 in some sort of controversy when it launched (no pun intended) because of its ability to process coordinates for a nuke strike or missle strike or something?

and

After Japan's Trade Ministry confirmed the PlayStation 2 gaming system as a device that can be adapted for military use, they are requiring special permits to export the PS2. The reason behind that this device may be because parts of the machine resemble a small super computer "in their ability to process high quality images quickly -- a characteristic of missile guidance systems."

The Sony spokesman, Kenichi Fukunaga endorsed that special export regulations had been enacted on the system and declined to comment on the reported military applications. Under the Japanese export and trade law, those who wish to export more than $472 worth of products that can be used for military purposes must apply for a license with the Trade Ministry. Anyone wishing to ship more than one system out of Japan would have to first obtain special government permission. A broken law would result in a maximum five-year prison sentence or a $18,900 fine. Sony is expected to receive an export permit to market the PlayStation2 machines.

Fukunaga said government regulation will do little to hinder already intense competition among game makers to produce more powerful machines. Officials are apparently concerned about rogue states that have military hardware but lack the sophisticated technological components. "The technology in this machine is at the cutting edge, but the competition is catching up, so the regulations will eventually have to be reviewed," Fukunaga said.
