Or was this for North America only?

This is first month launch sales regardless of release region. 24hrs is only NA launch numbers thus far.
On the launch failure defects for PS4, reports are coming in the failure rates are closer to 3-5% from retailer numbers, this is higher than Sony's initial released numbers.
Polygon and IGN reporting that a number of these defects may be attributed to intentional sabotage at a Foxconn plant where interns were forced to manufacture the units at low wages and poor work conditions

Xi'an Technological University students spent two months at the Foxconn plant in Yantai, China, for a work-study program that ran from August to this week. Students from the program told Dongfang Daily that the internship was mandatory — their diploma would be withheld if they didn't participate, and if they attempted to drop out of the program early, they would lose six credits' worth of courses. The students also said they were given tasks outside of their areas of study, and sometimes performed manual labor.

这么高端的一个产品，这可是索尼和微软联合起来对抗苹果的关键一步，可不幸的是小日本把它交给了富士康，富 士康又把他们交给了我们这群北信实习生，它错了，它这次真的错了，富士康没把我们当人看，我们也没把它当成 高端产品看，除了应付还是应付，这批产品能正常开机是我们最高的期望，哈哈，等ps4 9月9日正式上市的时候就是索尼亏损和富士康倒闭的日子！！共同祈祷吧！
