| thismeintiel said: It launched later in Japan. A little over 3 months. And there were smaller countries that came months later. Of course, that isn't the main point. The point is you are dealing in hypotheticals aligning each region. A hypothetical that is also an impossibility. The PS2 was staggered because there wouldn't be enough stock to launch in every country. The parts weren't off the shelf and therefore not readily available. That's the problem with going with all custom HW. Sure, if Sony launched the PS2 in most countries at launch, they MAY have had an additional 2M sales in the first month, but they'd also be experiencing what Nintendo is right now, which equals fewer sales the months/year after. It would have equalised itself out before this point in time. You have to use logic, not come from a mindset of trying to downplay the PS4. Or listen to someone who has that mindset. The PS4 is still beating the PS2, period. This is also a system that had the best Q4 for a PS console. Yes, including the PS2. |
When did I mention hypotheticals? It seems to me like your mindset is caught up in your own web since you are unable to accept any additional information. The fact PS2 is beating the PS4 in almost every individual region isn't a hypothetical, it is a fact you and others are clearly not able to accept. I'm not sitting here telling you that if PS2 launched WW then it MAY outsell PS4, and stop comparing the PS2 to the Switch lol, the Switch is having much different troubles from third party parts suppliers than PS2 ever experienced. The more you know.
I have to use logic? Do you not realize that I have agreed with your side of the story that PS4 has outsold the PS2 from date to date, the only difference is I am recognizing the additional information at play. You and others are the ones purposely not accepting additional FACTUAL information. So no, I'm not coming from the mindset of '"trying to downplay the PS4", it is you being illogical not accepting any additional information that may hurt the PS4. You have to be more open minded because the brain has this funny phenomenon about it, I'm sure you've heard.
