Sony are celebrating the fact that PlayStation 2 has surpassed the company's target for ten million unit sales by 31 March 2001.
Japan has sold 4.65 million, the USA 2.76 million, and Europe 2.63 million units.
In the UK alone, 366,000 PS2s were sold in just 101 days, with over one million games shifted - an average of 2.83 per console.
I suppose it is quite possible that Hong Kong is cheaper than Japan; obviously until fairly recently they were independent, so prices may be quite unique.
I'd also like to make it clear that it was not doubting your claim in my earlier post, but you are genuinely the first person I've heard tell a different story to those that were in the gaming press.

You wanna bet?? MGS2 is set to be AWESOME, and if ANY PS2 fan owner misses out on it, they're CRAZY!

I just know what I know - there's no trick to it, I just read all that I can, particularly about PS2.
Reading most of the major web sites and at least six PlayStation/PS2-specific mags every month also has a lot to do with it. Looking at things objectively and filtering facts from hype also helps!
Apparently the US are getting MGS2 first, before even the Japanese. Odd that they're going to hold back the already-voiced Japanese version until after the English-voiced Western version, but a nice change anyway!
