I think GTA was its biggest selling point. DVD is a close second. Maybe not so close.

GTA was a far second behind DVDs. There were a lot of people who didn't even know the PS2 was a gaming system. I anecdotally know someone who thought playstation was a disk media brand until recently, with the "play" meaning to "press play" on a DVD player.
Especially with the PS2, I think people vastly underestimate how significant the DVD player was, or how similar its success was to the Wiis.

Pretty much this. I had friends who bought it just because it was a cheap DVD player. Hell I bought one because it was a cheap DVD player.
