Playstation 2 was the best selling console and was just a Console, with Just games.

a Console with just Games and good games, can out-sell a console with Multi-midia functions, because people only want to play games when purchase a Gaming console, and Online gaming is just a Gaming feature is not a Multimidia feature, People don't purchase Playstation, to hear Music, to see Movies, they just add those features to be more easy for people that already is playing, just do 2 clicks and use the Multimidia, that other wise would take a little while to acess the Multi-midia, if Someone want Multi-midia, so a PC, is what the person need, not a Home Console.

Billions and Billions of hours spend on gaming, much more than on the Features, the Features are nearly un-existent, in Time Usage, the features are just there for Practical use.

If someone make a Console, with very good games, good third party support, just with Games, and Online Gaming, the console can still dominate the market, just like PS1, and PS2, did.

What worked for PS2 doesn't necessarily work today. Also, it was a popular DVD player. Portable gaming devices are also being killed off by phones given their many functions and gaming.

The masses don't a want a gaming device that doesn't do video streaming. Quite frankly, that's less value.

Yes, it indeed work, a Console just need good exclusives and good games to stay strong agaist the competitor, Nintendo, simple does not have Sucess, because their policys take consumers away, they charge too much for something that is cheaper, they still have Region Lock, and the games are locked to the Console, not to the Account.

 

Playstation 3, was the cheapest Blu-ray reader, so why Playstation 3, did not had the sucess of Playstation 2 ?, because a lot of games that were exclusives became multiplataform, and Xbox 360, also had a lot of good games early in his cicle, the Playstation 3, begun to release their truly big exclusives in 2009, and Beyond, the Wii, was sucessful because had the Wii Mote, and games that even who were not a gamer, played for fun, i saw the Wii, on Medical Station, helping the people with the "Motion Gameplay", so was a console with exclusives that had a lot of use, by gamers, and even by non-gamers.

 

I Don't believe that people purchase Console for Multimidia, is because of the Games, today we have a lot cheaper options of Multimidia, and if we had Something like the Playstation 2, just focused on Gaming, and with a lot of Good exclusives, of course would sell the same, or even more than the Playstation 2.

 

Master System, is the Brazilian's Best seller console, still selling on Xbox One, and Playstation 4, levels on the country until nowdays, together with the Playstation 2, more than 5 Millions of units sold, selling over 150 Thousands per year (multiple times more than Xbox One, on japan), and is just a Game Console, people buy it for the games, to play Sonic, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and other games, people prefer to play on Consoles.

 

Brazil, is not alone, the Playstation 2, even after the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii, launch, the Playstation 2, still sold over 20 Millions of units from 2008, to 2012, over 5 Millions per year, nearly on a faster speed than Xbox One, is selling nowdays, and he had other 3 competitor, also other 3 Next gen consoles, to compete with.
