The Harry Potter Lexicon addressed this one in the entry on Dudley, 
along with the speculation that his parents might have actually 
imported a Playstation from Japan, before the release of the 
British/American one.

While it would seem in character for the Dursleys to do this 
(nothing's too good for Duddie-kins), I doubt there were very many 
games available in English at the time..
