Obviously a company is going to plan production differently when they launch in just 1 country vs launching in 50+ countries.

Global (or semi-global) launches did not become common until the 7th gen and that needs to be factored in when comparing launch aligned sales, it just doesnt make sense to compare the sales of 1 country to 50+ countries.

Yes. And you wouldn't phantom the possibility that after verifying the price, content and production capability they saw it wouldn't be possible to launch WW from day one? So the 7M (which had shortages) were as most as they could produce, in a time that sales didn't even start as strong and there were no pre-orders?

This is at least the 5th time you have completely misunderstood this basic concept, companies plan differently when deciding to do global or staggered launches so if Sony wanted a global launch for PS2 than they would have either began mass production earlier or launched later.
