The wii seems to be expanding the market more. Most of the ps2 were for it being a cheap dvd player. Also so will the wii. It will help new developers that are small such as high voltage break the shovleware streak, and various wiiware developers. This is because development costs are so low. So while your points are valid for the ps2, I believe they are even more so for the wii. |
Nintendo fanboys always make excuses when other systems sell well. Isn't it possible that it was just an amazing system with a great library of games? And by saying "most," you're implying that the majority of people bought the PS2 as a cheap DVD player. Are you really suggesting that 60 million or more people worldwide bought the PS2 for a DVD player and nothing else?
Hell, I don't know pricing history, but I'm sure that by the time the PS2 was in large enough stock for people to buy it just to use it as a DVD player, normal players were probably cheaper.
Poor excuse. A great system sold well. People weren't buying replacements, nor DVD players.

Well.. I don't think that most of the ps2 sales were for being a cheap dvd player, but what i do think is that the dvd option gave it and advantage to gain sales at the Beginning of the last generation, i'm not bashing the ps2, it is a great console, but i think that if there wasn't for the dvd player it couldn't have selled as much as it has selled until now.

The DVD player definitely made it a better buy, but it wasn't a great motivation. If it was, why did the PS1 sell almost as well? Again, games are really all that matters.
