The point was Sony put DVD players in the hands of the MASSES. They are currently doing the exact same thing with Blu-ray. I could give two shits what ****ing brand of DVD player you bought. The time frame of when DVD had mass appeal is the relevant point I'm trying to make. You can fool yourselves all you want, but the PS2 did contribute to DVD sales and introduced the technology to a wider audience. You don't sell FORTY-MILLION consoles and not influence a percentage of those people.
BTW, this isn't about which console is better. Clearly, some of you have already made up your mind. I just wanted to point out that the cost is actually VERY SIMILIAR and that the 360 isn't such a bargain like some would have you believe. Compare apples to apples.
