Not sure if it’s true or not but I just stumbled upon this and didn’t see a thread on it. I’m sure it’s probably just a typo but there are links within the article that are in Japanese that seem to be announcing the milestone.

I don't see how it could be true, current figures put it at around 65 million units, about 62M in early August which means it would have sold 16 million units in about two months which is about 2M every week since early August, not only is that not reflected in the hardware charts, it also has no logical reason to have spiked that high, that suddenly and seemingly out of the blue.
Only possibility is that the hardware charts are way off and that much off seems like unreasonable to consider, though I don't know how VGChartz gets its figures so I cannot say to what degree of accuracy the charts actually are, whether they are a mere estimate or actually based on concrete information.
Bottom line 78M as of right now seems way off though I have no doubt the PS4 will get there in 6 months to a year or so.
