PS2 has a massive *

Probably 20-30 million PS2 sales, at least, came from people simply wanting a cheaper DVD player and not even interested in games.

Anyone who buys a NS does so to play games. NS won this battle already.

PS2 tie ratio was 9.68 games per console sold

Switch 8.58 games per console sold 

Your guess do not look grounded in reality 

Yeah, I doubt many people bought it solely for being a DVD player, however I think many people chose a PS2 over the competition because it had a DVD player included. Like, why buy a DVD player and Dreamcast/GameCube/Xbox (I know Xbox could with an add-on) when I can just get a PS2?

Obviously there was a lot more to PS2 being such a juggernaut like coming off the success of PS1 and having huge exclusive/timed exclusive franchises like Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, etc. but I think DVD playback right out of the box was a big deal at the time.
