EyeToy cameras in demand

Nam Tai Electronics has today announced that it has increased its production capacity of the EyeToy USB camera for the PlayStation 2 by 14 times from 50,000 to 750,000 units per month. SCEE recently announced that it has sold over 1 million copies of EyeToy: Play in Europe and plans to launch a second EyeToy product, EyeToy: Groove, later this year.

"We are very excited to see that the EyeToy has received such a great market response since its first launch in Europe," said Tadao Murakami, chairman of Nam Tai. "We believe that EyeToy will continue to make a great success with its forthcoming release in both Japan and North America."
