But if those 30 million wanted a DVD player and not a gaming machine why would that increase the other consoles sales? PS2 would still have the best library and dominant position.

Some of the people who wanted a DVD and a game console could have potentially gotten a DVD+GC or XB+DVD addon instead of a PS2 and the people who primarily wanted it for DVD use would likely have just gotten a DVD player.

 

125 million for PS2 vs 70 million for XB+GC+DC is still very dominant so i dont know why you are telling me it would still have dominated........myself and pretty much everyone agree with that.

I'm saying that because who says those 30 million wouldn't have just bought a PS2 and a DVD player? It was the dominant console with the best library so I doubt the addition of a DVD player made all the difference to them to make them buy the severely less supported competition. I know 125 million is just a roundabout number, but I think you're overestimating the DVD's influence on it's sales. And again, the software tie ratio doesn't lie.
