At best it could have lured in the "Oh! New! Shiny!" crowd. There was at the time next to no info about PT at all. From the original OOTP 19 announcement (to be found here: http://cdnsite.ootpdevelopments.com/...221/index.html ), this is all there is to say about PT at that point:

Finally, we have an exciting new online feature called PERFECT TEAM that we’ll unveil this summer, with an open Beta happening this spring.
And all of that got pushed back several months. Frankly, if that made you buy OOTP 19, then anything would have. They can go easy this spring. How about this bottom line: "Buy OOTP 20 - it will not make you like ice cream one bit less"?

As a further point, 19 does not cost more than 18 did, despite PT (eventually) being included in it.
