At that time staggered launches were more common. PS2 released in March in Japan, in October in the US, in November in europe. But more importantly, Sony was expanding it's distribution in more countries worldwide that gen (which is to this day the reason for Playstations strength in the rest of the world), which means it got into more countries even later in the lifecycle. Add to that, that it was unchallanged leader that gen and got lots of third-party support and that the PS3 struggled out of the gate which gave PS2 a second wind. All together explains why PS2 started slower but sold constantly over a very, very long timeframe.
