You were right about the FY year thing, I got confused because one of the reports started with last year's FY results. I can't find the document I was looking at before, but the one you're citing for the PS3 decrease makes no mention of the PS2 at all (probably since the system had been discontinued by March 2013). I know Sony's full FY report says 16.5 mil for PS3 + PS2, but there's nothing anywhere to suggest how much of that is made up by the PS2, it's a pretty huge stretch to assume it was flat or increased because it wasn't mentioned. |
It's not just a guess, since Sony hasn't commented on the PS2, unlike the (PS3, PSP and PSV), even though it's counted in the 16.5 million sales figure. To me, it seems logical and coherent to say that it's been at least stable throughout this fiscal year, because if it wasn't the case Sony would have mentioned its decline, just like the others platform.
If you want to know everything, I invite you to read ZhugeEx's comments on resetera to understand where the 159.2 number comes from and why everything below this figure is wrong.

For me, this makes much more sense than the other figures, which make little sense and are based on nothing at all.
