During the 4th quarter of calendar year 2002 the cumulative Production Shipments of PlayStation 2 Hardware reached 49.59 million units with a total of 8.03 million sold in for the entire quarter.
This consisted of 1.5 million Production Shipments to Japan distributors, 3.3 million Production Shipments to North American distributors and 3.3 million Production Shipments to European and PAL distributors.
The total amount sold through to end users exceeded 8.5 million worldwide across November and December, which included shipments made and recognised prior to the quarter.
Please note that Production Shipments are no longer the reporting method of Sony Computer Entertainment, since 2007 the company has been using Shipments to Retailers as its primary reporting method.
Based on publicly available data the PlayStation 4 may not have as strong sell through but Hardware Shipments for the quarter may be up in both North America and Europe versus Production Shipments of PlayStation 2 during the final quarter of calendar year 2002.

Hmmmm, do sales in the row compensate for the deficit in Japan? I hope you understand my question! :)

Not really. They do add up. But Japan back in PS1/PS2 days was a big market on its own.
