That's the main reason why it's done well.
Back in the initial PlayStation days, did you ever come accross a person who DIDN'T say how cool it was that PSX could play CDs? Retailers advertised this in their catalogues, and even said the coolest feature on the PSX was the fact that it could play CDs.
When PS2 was launched, the sales-pitch around the crap launch titles was that you could play DVDs. "Oh, don't worry about waiting for Dolphin. PS2 can play DVDs too." And NOW that it has lots of games, they add that into the sale. "Oh, don't buy a Gamecube. PS2 can play DVDs, and it has lots of games. That's much cooler."
I've heard that too many times.
And if you think that it went well not because of theDVD playback, why don't YOU suggest to Sony (and MS) to ditch all the features and make a games-only machine?
They might have lots of games for the games-only PS3, but the console sales will be much lower than the DVD-playback PS2.
