Just like Sony went out with exact PS3 numbers shipped in 2019, till march of 2017, that had to happen with the PS2 sales numbers as well, they could go out and announce official shipments numbers as of january of even march of 2013, is it so hard for them ? I bet the numbers would have been at least 160M.

I feel like 160m is a very specific milestone that would have warranted an announcement from Sony though.  Sony announced the PS2 crossed the 150m mark on January 31st, 2011.  That was the last time they announced a specific # of consoles shipped/sold for PS2 if I'm not mistaken.  I think that if PS2 had crossed the 160m mark, Sony would have definitely issued a press release, especially since they would be able to note that no other dedicated gaming device had ever crossed that mark.

the hubris for Sony is so big they revised the numbers of Ps2 after DS hit the 150+ mark.
