Yeah no.
The ps2 was my first console. I mainly got it for dvds as did many other people I know. Of course it had games too ( that I didn't care for). When another dvd player came out which actually had games I thought looked good ( Halo and Splinter Cell) I picked it up.

And even then I still used it as a dvd player until around 2004 when I really started to play games.

As for the PS3 bluray argument, blurays were ridiculously overpriced and not as in demand as dvds.

I don't know what you're getting at, are you suggesting most people actually only bought PS2 for a DVD player? Then why the hell did the PS2 sell so many games? Have more exclusives than any console ever before or after it? Surely if it's high install base was mainly due to DVD's there would be a correlation of software attach rates being sub par? Except the opposite was true.
