That's pretty much what I showed. What's key:

PS2:

• 13 months – March 31st, 2001 – 10.61 million

PS4:

• 9 months – August 17th, 2014 – 10 million

Seeing how 10 million is the benchmark, that it was I felt was most important. It took the PS4 four months less (overall, I'm aware of the 7 month JP discrepancy for the PS2 and the 3 month difference for PS4) to hit it. Not sure how that can be spun, other than, again, mentioning Japan (which as I did with the Gran Turismo people last gen - the sales were made up elsewhere), but that's grasping at its absolute best.

Just to put some perspective... this PS2 numbers is production shipment... so everything Sony produced and not what they shipped to retail like they started to do after 2006... that can means less than 9 million sold.
