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.

Sure. Sony couldn't launch globally with the PS2 because their manufacturing capabilities were limited. This in turn meant that the PS2 was only available in Japan for its first 9 months, which in turn is the reason why the PS4 is ahead. Does that change anything of what I've said? Or what Shadow has said for that matter?
