I think people sometimes forget that the PS2 sold 150M because it sold a lot to casuals, just as the Wii did, but for different reasons.

pretty much the same reason a lot of shovelware.


Mostly  because it was a cheap mid-tier DVD player when those things were still fairly new to the mass market.

Can't we stop with this "PS2 sold because it was a cheap DVD player" ?

Just go and look at the games released from the first holyday on, PS2 practically had a monopoly on the biggest franchises GTA, MGS, FF, PES/FIFA add Sony's exclusives to that list like GOW and GT it was crazy I was there.

I'm not saying that's the only, or main reason it sold. But that DVD player got it into a lot of homes.
