Jesus Christ (our saviour), there are still people who pedal the notion that the PS2 sold so well because of it's DVD player. The thing reached 100 million units in 2005, by then Blu-ray players were out and DVD players were $40. It went on to sell another 55 million units after that, was that because it played DVD's or because it had by far the best game library of any console to date for cheap? I'd say the latter.

The truth is it seems to pain people to see Sony on top so much that they have to explain it away with other things besides games.  When the PS2 launched, you could get a DVD player for less than $100.  There's absolutely no way people were paying $300 for a PS2 to play DVDs.  And the high attach rate for SW proves it.  Like I said before, people became interested in DVDs because they had a PS2. Not the other way around.  Weird how the Xbox did DVD, too, yet sold a lot less. Hmmm.

I guess PS1 only did so well because it could play CDs.  . So, what's the excuse for the PS4? Bluray?

Yep, and when the PS4 doesn't hit 155 million (but does well over 100 million) people will say it was because it didn't have an exclusive multimedia function to exploit lol.

The fact of the matter is, Sony have had the best home console of every generation since 1994, it's just the way it is.
