You can't create a PSN account in something like 190 countries and regions, including some European Union member countries, all of Africa except one country, etc.

Gotcha, I had read 118 countries last night but I get that it's a huge amount.

For comparison I found these today:

Epic games is basically available everywhere but Iraq and north Korea

Xbox supported countries seemed to be about 100ish but I think I've heard maybe their ToS wasn't as restrictive.

Nintendo only appears to support a handful of countries for their online accounts but obviously they aren't selling to PC gamers.

I figured amount of countries was a big factor. I'm one of those oblivious selfish bastards who has the accounts for everything above and doesn't have issues so I was curious for those who cannot. Appreciate your response!
