Most people didn't even know the PS2 was also a dvd player and that includes me. 

yeah... that isn't true.  If you wanted to make a case for a very small fraction of people, sure, but most?  Nope!

Everyone I knew at the time didn't know it and when I found out it did I thought it was pretty cool. So yeah, I will go with it because the majority of the younger audience had a very high chance of not knowing. 

how would you know they didn't know if you yourself didn't know about it to ask them?   Again, your anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal.  I could share the fact that every young or old person I knew that had a ps2 knew it was also a dvd player, but would it mean anything?  probably not.  However, looking at the historical trends and the way dvd sales flew off the charts when the ps2 came out, it is hard to deny that the VAST majority of people that bought a ps2 knew it was a dvd player.
