In the past Sony has reported produced units, so these are not shipped as in sold to retailer numbers.

They stopped reporting production shipments since March 2007. The 127m through 2007 should be retail shipments.

Only if they adjust their old numbers to fit their new way of reporting. As far as I know Sony didn't release LTD shipment numbers in their earnings releases.

 

 

Well, they should have internal figures for retail shipments aswell as production shipments, so I doubt they have to adjust anything. The PS3 figure in the quote is retail shipment through 2007 and he says sold so it really should be retail shipments for PS2 & PSP too.

Reeves said new global hardware sales figures will be revealed in Tokyo next week. He reiterated that by the end of 2007 more than 10.5 million PS3s, 34 million PSPs and 127 million PS2s had been sold around the world.

Tracking back from the 127m figure would put their retail shipments at 115.62m through March 2007 compared to reported production shipments of 117.89 through the same period. There's a margin of error of 500k from the rounded 127m, so it suggests there were 2.27m +/- 500k more PS2s produced than sold to retailers when they stopped reporting production shipments.
