Look at the release dates and you'll have your answer. The PS3 was released in November. November and December is where the PS3 really sold. The PS4 was released in February. That's why it didn't sell "as fast" as the PS3 did.

These two [very important] months account for almost 500,000 consoles sold.

Yeah PS3 launched in the holiday season, but its high price deterred many from buying one in its early years

It doesn't matter. You're comparing holiday sales to non-holiday sales. November and December are always the best selling months. The PS3's launch month (November) sold 165,996 consoles in Japan. The PS4's launch month (February) sold 378,509 consoles in Japan, and that wasn't even during the holidays where people are more likely to buy a PS4 as a gift.

In the non-holiday season the more expensive PS3 was able to sell at a higher rate than PS4. That is an incredible feat.
