→Console Serial Numbers: Better table of prefixes
Applying the algorithm, we get ((3 * 21) + 19) % 10 = 2, matching the example's check digit.

The below is a table of known serial number letter prefixes.
The letter prefixes are a letter specifying the device, followed by one a letter specifying the region in which it was sold. Sometimes, a third letter is present; a current guess is that this letter distinguishes among factories for a given sales region. Note that several different sales regions' console may be considered to be the same region for region-locking purposes, such as Europe and Australia.
