That's where the confusion is we have two production figures the one that's  been around ages of 15 million and now this 16 million figure, and without any verification the later just appears to be there to serve the story.

There is a difference between production and shipment. Units that got produced in the last weeks of the year may only get shipped in January.

My post had nothing to do with shipped numbers both those 15 and 16 million numbers are production forecasts, I was questioning the veracity of the article and while the 15 million may be questionable it at least has been used by many outlets in relation to a 14.8 million shipped forecast, I cannot find any similar reporting of the 16 million number so I'm sceptical especially in light of previous Bloomberg claims like this. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-09-15-sony-reportedly-cuts-ps5-production-by-4m-units
