PS4 shipped 60 million as of March 2017, thats 3 years in Japan with an extra quarter in the west.

PS2 shipped 12.7 in Japan in 3 years, 29.53 in America & 24.56 in PAL in 3 years and 1 quarter.

 

Launches aligned PS2 was about 7 million ahead of PS4 as of the last shipment update.

We dont live in a world of hypotheticals and *if this or that's* though.

Time aligned is just date to date.

PS4 is still tracking ahead of the PS2.

Aligning console sales is also very hard. If we truly aligned the consoles country to country PS2 is ahead of the Wii, but all alignments show Wii>PS4>PS2.

One reason PS2 had such great legs in sales is due to late launches in big markets.

Another reason for "record" sales for 8th gen consoles and Switch  is because they had more global launches then the older consoles.
