PS1 and PS2 sold THAT well in the latter years due to late launches in many countries including major ones. PS3 only sold 6-8m after the PS4 launched, and PS4 is heading towards the same trajectory.

The PS1 and PS2 were available in virtually every country not that long after launch, maybe they had "official" launches much later, but like in Brazil "officially" PS2 didn't launch there until 2009 (lol) but the vast majority of systems had been sold there via grey market for years before that. 

Same reason no one in China gives much of a fart over "official console launches" there ... because those systems have been available to anyone who really wanted one years earlier. 

PS3 had to be phased out because it was expensive to keep mass producing with the bespoke CELL processor being stubborn to lower end pricing. 

Well their official launches in those countries lead to fair prices and a boom in sales. The PS4 will be unable to launch again so to speak, that is what the revision is supposed to be for, but again nothing planned from Sony.
