Doesn't really tell us much more than we already know.

Known sales PS3 at 74.1m

Known sales PS2 at 155.1m

Unknown sales PS2+ PS3 at 16.5m.

If you estimate PS2 at 156.5m or 157.5m, then that means PS3 sold >89.2m or >88.2m as of March 31 2015. However the PS3 didn't end shipments until October 2016 for USA and ~May 2017 for Japan.

So either the PS2 sold ~160m or the PS3 sold quite a bit more than we think.

Quite the opposite, it tell us that  ps2 has sold 158m and ps3 89m at maximum.

 

 

As for Japan, https://www.neogaf.com/threads/media-create-sales-week-52-2016-dec-26-jan-01.1331314/...

 

 

As for the USA, sales of ps3 were 10k in November 2016...

 

 

Sony shipped just 300k less than Wii u  in FY14/15 while sales of wiiu were much higher in the NA and Japan  and probably the same in Eu, take into account that shipments increased only by 200k in the quarter of holidays than the previous quarter, sony had likely overshipped it in FY14/15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

73.9m* not 74.1m

 

 

 

@bold, it fits with exactly what I said "or PS3 sold quite a bit more than we think". Most people leave PS3 estimates at 86m, being close to 90m is pretty good.
