Well I never did Rol, you are learning =p

So we are comparing shipments against sell throughs and a lot stronger japan to more spread launch, after 2 years things must start to normalize, right?

Start to normalize, yes. But it's not quite there yet. After all, the staggered launch made the PS2 a Japan-only console for about 1/3 of that span of two years. Once year 3 has ended, the staggered launch will be bordering on irrelevance. Later on, it definitely shouldn't even be brought up anymore.

So Being myself the person asking what were PS2 numbers after 2 years on the market I suppose I'm the guy without brain?

Apples and Oranges??? Please put your essay comparing them 1 to 1 if you like instead of just complaining about it and reshapping your comment. PS2 was also alone on the market on the launch and WW for several months while PS4 had Nintendo one year headstart and X1 launching together.

One tiny correction, the PS2 came out 6 months after the Dreamcast (in Japan), and one year after everywhere else! :P

Dreamcast launched in 1998 in Japan, so the PS2 launched about 1.5 years later in that region.

Yep, at the end of 2016 Staggering should be marginal impact, and PS2 will  be closer, probably only 3M behind PS4. But as others said it's quite possible that PS4 reach 100M about the same timeframe as PS2, but postgen legs will be cut shorter because PS5 is expected to not bomb as did PS3. And if we have a gen with the same length as 7th it's possible that PS4 won't get so behind (like other said perhaps 130M is a possibility)
