You know there is a difference between being out in 1 country for 9 months then releasing most of them later and being in most of them from the start then releasing in a few countries later.  It doesn't take a genius to see there is a big difference.  Yes the PS4 wasn't released in Japan until like 6 months later but it's not selling that well there and the numbers are small in the big picture.

I aknowledged that there is a difference. But also that it's one that's more relevant for an initial period when there may still be shortages. After around 2 years on the market, neither PS2 nor PS4 suffered from any shortages. Meaning anyone who wanted one would have gotten it by this point. If someone wanted a PS2 but did not get one after 2 years, then the main problem was not that it launched 7 months later in their country.

Cool story, ps2 still clearly is at a disadvantage due to Japan only first.
