I copied the statement from their files. You could be right in their meaning, as they also use "Unit sales" when talking about shipments, but everywhere it sales "sales" on it's own it then gives figures in Yen.
For example this bit from the MP&C division definately indicated "sales" means money in the bolded bit (also mentioning "segment sales" a few times, also meaning money) whereas the next bolded bit specifies "unit sales"
"Sales increased 132.9% year-on-year (a 151% increase on a constant currency basis) to 285.6 billion yen (3,615
million U.S. dollars). This increase was primarily due to the consolidation of Sony Mobile, partially offset by
lower sales of PCs mainly resulting from price declines.
On a pro forma basis, had Sony Mobile been fully consolidated in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year,
segment sales would have increased approximately 14%. This increase was primarily due to higher average
selling prices of mobile phones resulting from a shift to smartphones from feature phones, and higher unit sales of
smartphones driven mainly by the strong performance of XperiaTM S and XperiaTM acro HD."
The first bolded bit indicates PC sales were down, but that was mainly due to price declines and not neccessarily lower unit sales.
The second bolded bit is after mentioning segment sales would have increased due to both higher selling prices and unit sales.

Either way it wouldnt make any difference. Neither PS2 nor PS3 has had a price cut. So lower sales revenue would = lower sales in units sold.

Ok then. (though it would be nice if Sony made things clearer)
