There are a lot of reasons why the PS2 is (deserved) the best-selling console of all time. Just look at how many great series were born on it. God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Kingdom Hearts, Fatal Frame... Also, it had some of the best exclusives from that time, like Final Fantasy X and XII,

I don't like when people say it sold well because it was a cheap DVD player. It's a home console, just like the Xbox and the GameCube.

Honestly yea the DVD player argument is so overused, the PS2 still sold 1.5 Billion in software making it have a high attach rate where the average PS2 owner purchased at least 10 games for it, which is one of the highest attach rates for any console in history. If people were buying the PS2 just cause it was a cheap DVD player it wouldn't have an attach rate that high. I'm sure the DVD player helped sweeten the deal for many potential buyers, but pretty much all of them also bought it with the intent to play games on it as well.
