If PS5 can reach 19 million this fiscal year then it will beat PS2 and PS4's second full year and just be behind PS1's.

* Q4 remaining, forecast to ship 19 million

That FY0 for PS1 is actually more than a year... it's the combined shipments from December 1994 launch to end of March 1996 (so 16 months) It was only available in Japan in those extra months but that's also the case for PS2 FY0

It's also "production shipments" for both PS1 & up to FY6 for PS2 rather than shipments to retailers, so technically it will be at least a couple of million ahead of the more modern reporting for PS3/4/5

Edit: here's the original docment it's from on Sony IE https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/06q4_sonypre.pdf

I know that up untill 2007 Sony reported production shipments and then changed to sold-in (shipped) but this is the only official data we have for PS1 and the first 7 years of PS2 so we just have to make do with what we have. PS2 numbers for fy0 are just March 4th to March 31st 2000 and the 4.3 million i've seen for PS1 i thought was from Dec '94 to March '95.
