This is true, but I did see an interesting video of a very early model which showed a DVD icon in the home menu. Perhaps it was planned, but scrapped. Missed opportunity, in my opinion.

So, maybe that is it. The PS2 was the all-in-one entertainment centre of a bygone era. I don’t think Nintendo is interested in the whole TV thing after what happened with the Wii U. The PS2 just might be king forever.
