Sony: PS3's global install base is ~30 million, overtracked on VGC?

[Torillian]

Recently a Sony exec said they had sold 31 million and so many people thought he meant shipped only to quickly be proven wrong by the official shipped numbers. Now when someone says "about 30 million" we ignore that previous statement and assume that this is the number of consoles sold to consumers? My advice is to not expect big changes to the numbers based off a single statement by some guy at the company that is by no means definitive.
