All figures are official and come from Sony Interactive Entertainment's internal estimates.

Apart from the estimate of 4.10 million for the last fiscal year (FY2012), in which year Sony spoke of a drop in sales for the PS3 but made no comment about the PS2, which must have been either stable or slightly up on the year before, so 4.10 is a minimum for that year.

Sounds like dubious logic. I found this quote from the FY report which implies they both decreased:

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, sales decreased 6.9 percent year-on-year to 805.0 billion yen.
Sales to outside customers decreased 8.7 percent year-on-year. The decrease reflects lower sales of PlayStation ®3
(“PS3”) hardware due to a strategic price reduction and lower sales of PlayStation ®2 due to platform migration.

That's in dollar sales to be fair, but listing "platform migration" as the reason for lower PS2 sales also sounds like less units sold to me.

And now from Q4FY2012 when fiscal year 2012 ended (9 may 2013)
