@Viper1 No, beginning of 1997 to end of 2001, that's 5 years.

1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, see?

And DVD players well selling , although at very high prices, since Q4 of 1996. A friend of mine bought one of the first models, a Toshiba for around $1,100 at the end of 1996.

And as for their figures not including PS2, I couldn't know, they don't tell, so how do you know? Do I smell bias?

Here's a link for standalone players only.

This one provides numbers that include portable units, home theater units and combo players but also omits the PS2.

The difference seems to be about an additional 100 million DVD players.   Neither include PC DVD drives.
