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?

Intrisic explained it all. Also Sony themselves still consider PS4 to be ahead of PS2 when talking about speed of sales.

You can't sell what you can't make.

And about the logistic Intrisic mentioned... he just missed one detail, launching on only one market and being the one close to the factory and that have brand recognition also meant less cost for transportation/warehousing and less marketing expended at the release.

Unless you can give another reason on why Sony would be idiotic and hold from releasing WW and avoid making money you don't have much ground. Or are you just keep the "they couldn't sell more anyway, but I'll keep deflecting to it because it sustain my argument"?
