I think it was actually quite a clever business strategy. Gamers like DVDs too, you know. There's a reason this tactic also worked extremely well in Japan - completely leaving SEGA in the dust. Actually, if there's any reason to hate Sony, it's because they killed the Dreamcast. Those bastards.
I'm curious though, would you consider Nintendo's recent strategy of marketing to non-gamers with the Wii to be cheating as well?
