Seriously XD?
First of all Xbox released a year later and was more expensive than a PS2, secondly by that time it also had a lot of game titles, thirdly if you wanted to watch DVD movies you had to buy a seperate adaptor....
Panasonic Q GC did not do great because the time it released their were already +8 million PS2 consoles sold in Japan + it was also not that cheap.
Why you don't ask yourself, why Nintendo/panasonic still went trough with making a DVD GC if DVD was not that important for PS2 sales? Maybe because a lot of Japanese families reported they got a PS2 in the first year because it was a great family system? It was simply a great gift for parents themself who could watch DVD movies with it and their kids playing games.
