I mean the PS1 peaked the same year the PS2 was released. This wasn't a mistake or some failure from Sonys side, no one argues the PS2 was released too early. It went on to be the highest selling console of all time. Its release date was perfect. 

Actually, the PS1 peaked worldwide in 1998 (1997 in Japan, but the drop there in 1998 wasn't enough to offset gains elsewhere). The PS2 wasn't released until March 2000 in Japan and Q4 2000 everywhere else.

So, the PS2 was released two years after the PS1's WW peak, not the same year.

Oh, my mistake. I misread the VGC article
