That's including the rest of Asia though. The Switch number here are just Japan.

Also, those PS2 numbers are until 31st of December, while the Switch numbers are from Media Create which is up to the week ending 24th of December.

What's more the PS2 numbers are units shipped, while the Switch numbers are units sold.

All of that can account for the difference.

What Rest of Asia?  it wasn't released in China/taiwan/south Korea/Singapore/thailand/malaysia etc before december 2001/February 2002.

One week difference isn't that much, 0.94 million in sales is tho;

Sony was in a worse situation than Nintendo because they had to apologize for the extreme PS2 shortages leading to push production till it broke, that eventually lead to a extremely low shipment.  4.75 ish after 1 year.  

Using Sony's numbers though we're still looking at PS2s shipped by the end of December compared to Switches sold through to consumers before Christmas.

Tracing back the links, the article's source was Famitsu and Media Create, so if there's a discrepancy, that's on them.
