I bought my Ps2 awhile after gt3 came out, and bought it as a greatest hits game. As siad above, sony makes their money on games, and wanted to make a game exclusive to their own console thus gaining money from game sales and people who buy the consloe just for the game. Also, console gaming is more conveniant and accessible to people with no computers, or even slow computers. Millions of people bought the Ps2, which is in effect a stipped down gaming computer, while far less have computers capable of properly playing such graphically intesive games. And last, Sony has much more experience with the PS2 than PC's because sony specifically designed the PS2.
