That doesnt confirm 100m sell through, he said over 30m in US and around 30% of total sales. It could be 30.1m in US and be 30.5% of sales which would be like ~98.7m globally.

Since he didn't specifically mention 100m sell through and Sony hasnt commented on it yet than it's safe to say it's not quite there yet.

• OVER 30M in US.
• AROUND 30%
• And you somehow get 98.7M? Thats very one sided math.

If 30.1M of anything represents at 30% of anything, that means for certain that "anything" is at least 100M. Only way its less is if you took "around"  30% to mean "more" than 30%. In which case I would ask why didn't he also say "OVER" 30% too?

Whatever the case we are clutching straws here... even if its not 100M, it can't be short of that mark by more than 500k (0.5%) as you have even pointed out by your calculation... which falls well within any sales estimate margin of error.

And sony doesn't need to comment on it "again" cause just last month or so they announced they had shipped over 100M consoles. No point coming back and saying and now e have sold over 100M consoles. Further more, as they have done for most of ts gen, they only really talk about sell through numbers around January very year.

I think you are misinterpreting my point. I gave 30.1m and 30.5% for a total of ~98.7m as an example to show how it's not confirmed to be over 100m.

On the flip side it could be 30.5m and 30.1% for a total of ~101.3m.

My overall point is that there is nothing confirmed which is what the person I responded to said.
