PS1 BC
DVD Support
Brand recognition from PS1

This plus shit ton of GOOD third party games
DVD's and GTA. GC had no chance, Xbox didn't penetrate the market enough at that point, and dreamcast committed sudoku in a blaze of glory.

This. And this will stand throughout all of time until the last star burns out. The PS2 was dedicated game machine with a game library that remains unmatched, and yes I'm aware of the PS3's.
good launch

The PS1 had a better game library than PS2.
Luckily the PS2 can play the entire PS1 library, so it wins.
