First of all cheap dvd player (like for the fist months) and a lot of software releases.

I've yet to see any evidence that an extra feature has sold consoles, more or less they become tie breakers when people can't decide between two consoles, however the software argument, has some worth.  I do know when the PS2 was about to launch in Japan, it was hyped to high heaven and completely obliterated Dreamcast out of the gate, it helped that they just came off the PS1 generation with some of the best Japanese developed games of all time.

Well it was hyped as an dvd player aswell but if you want easy evidence check the launch week of PS2.  The PS2 sold more hardware than software.

You could say the same for the PS3, but many consoles launch with lower attach rates due to the lack of compelling software, bought on the promise that developers will deliver.
