I did, and the controller was the price of a DVD.  The argument the ps2 sold 160 because of dvd makes no sense, because the xbox played dvd too.  It appears illogical to me that dvd sold 160 million but a $20 add on to play dvd sold 20 million.

At the end of the day the answer is either ps2 or S1, both have arguments in their favor.  And like usual, Sony is beinf undersold here on VG (and I say that as a PC gamer).  

The controller was another thing you had to buy vs. something that worked out of the box. To a casual consumer, those types of barriers to entry are a deal breaker.

Lol, 8 to 1 barrier.  Nah.  The ps2 sold because of price and library.  The DVD was an additional selling point, but low on the list.
