the difference with the ps2 is that it had several box revisions, sold 150M (was it?), and used dvd when it was still rather new.

ps2 launched at 299, 10 years later it sells at 99$ (right?) and they make about 8$ per console.

DVD was already 2 years old (in Japan 3 years old) without competition (DVD is an unified format) and started outselling the VHS at fast rates... PS2 took advantage from it, unlike PS3, which had the Blu-Ray the same year the format launched, with competition (HD-DVD) and fighting the still widely popular DVD, Sony took a really high risk with the PS3...
