Often, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB2200F and A7R II.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7R II will give you more detail because of its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older WB2200F is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
