PS2 had nothing to do with DVD coming to market. DVD players were available for under $200 when PS2 launched. DVD players launched nearly 3 years before PS2 launched. Now BluRay is of course a big part of the PS3 story, but will never be as big as DVD and wont have as long a mainstream life.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
