DVD Playing isn't exactly a selling point anymore, most people have a 
standalone DVD now, but didn't when PS2 was released. I doubt many 
people bought a PS2 or Xbox to play CDs like they might have partially 
bought a PS1/Saturn to.

A good selling point would be if it played BRD or HD-DVD, I'd wager Sony 
will definately feature at least one of those formats on PS3. If they 
only support one of the two formats, it could spell disaster for the 
other one.
