And we are saying that launch aligning stuff is pointless if you are trying to compare a staggered launch to a global launch. Cause the comparison is always slanted. 

At the end of the day what's important is how many consoles can be shipped. If Sony could ship more consoles they would have done so but they couldn't. Same way how even with the PS4 they couldn't release in every territory on launch day. the PS2 was in Japan only for 9 months because that's the only territory their available stock could manage until they could ramp up production. 

I honestly can't tell if you are disagreeing with me or not because I can't see the relation between what you are talking about and the original discussion... If you align the launches by region, the PS2 is ahead.

That is just because you are being stubborn.

The point we are making is that Sony wouldn't have been able to sell more PS2 even if they launched global because their manufacturing capability was limited to what they were making and that was just enough to meet Japan demand.

Same way Wii and Switch if launched to more countries (or less) wouldn't change the first 6 months of sales since they were totally sold out for all those months.

The supposition of "they would make more if launching in more countries" is illogical since they want to sell as much as they can, so they will produce as much as is viable, and if they didn't produce more/released in more countries was because that wasn't viable.
