I love self-defeating comments like these, lol. I don't mean to be mean it's just that...it's so obvious lol. You say we don't live in a world of hypotheticals and *if this or that's*....but you then proceed to indicate the PS4 is tracking ahead of the PS2 IF (LOL) you align the PS2 Japanese launch date with the PS4 World Wide launch. You say "Time aligned is just date to date" which just so happens to inflate the idea that PS4 is selling better than PS2. The problem is this ignores the fact that PS2 was only available in Japan for the first 8 months. When you leave out the hypotheticals and *if this or that's* the PS2 (162 million) has sold more than PS4 (60million). WOW, the PS2 is super impressive, the PS4 can't even compete. |
And the PS4 wasn't exactly available everywhere at launch, either, so what's your point? Do you even know why we have staggered launches? It's because console manufacturers can only make so many of them for launch demand. Even if the PS2 had launched in a few other countries, Sony would have had to spread out those shipments meant for Japan, and the few they were saving up for the NA and EU launches. So, yea, the PS2 would have sold a couple of extra million, but it would have just sold out quicker and Sony wouldn't have had enough to keep it in stock. It's the same thing happening to the Switch right now.
