My bad that was meant to be March 31st 2012 lol, the figure came from adding together Sony's fiscal numbers for Manufactured FY99-FY06 and Shipped FY07-FY11. But according to ZhugeEx the difference between manufactured and shipped was a lot greater than the 0.51m I thought was accounted for. 155.01m as of March 31st 2012 is as far as I can find the correct number, but even that it's difficult to find a source. I just have this as explanation: "PS2 Production Shipments were 117.9 million as of March 2007. At this point Sony switched from reporting production shipments to hardware sell in. Hardware sell in at this point was 115.6 million." from this thread |
I finally found what was I looking for:
https://www.sie.com/en/corporate/data.html More than 155.0m as of March 31, 2012. So at this date the whole confusion between production numbers and sell-in is tangled apart by an official Sony figure. Only the PS1 and PS3 have final hardware data disclosed as of now. PS2, PSP and PSV look like they will forever be undisclosed while PS4 will get finalized once it has actually stopped selling and the same can be assumed for the PS5. It's clear that the page is getting updated, because the latest PS4 and PS5 numbers are there. |
Don't forget the PS1+PS2+PS3+PSP+ PS4 + PS vita= 525.3m math. With known numbers for PS1,PS3, PSP, PS4 at the time.
