I can't see how people think the PS2 is at 161 million, i think 158 to 159 million is almost certain and this is because of the PS3 numbers that were combined with PS2.
FY Mar 2012: PS2 total - 155.0m, PS3 total - 63.9m
FY Mar 2013: PS2 + PS3 - 16.5m for the FY, PS2 production ended
FY Mar 2014: PS3 - 7.0 million
FY Mar 2015 : PS3 - 3.1 million
FY Mar 2016: PS3 - ???, PS3 production ends in Europe
FY Mar 2017; PS3 - ???, PS3 production ended in October for NA and March in Japan.
So PS3 is at 74.0 million from known yearly shipments which means it needs 13.4million from 3 FY's missing and FY16 and FY17 were very low due to production ending and the PS3 not even being mentioned in Sony's yearly reports. If PS2 shipped 161 million then that means PS3 only shipped 10.5 million in FY13 and 2.9 million for FY16 & 17 combined. Shipments of 2.9 million for PS3's final two FY's is far too high. I think PS3 shipped 12.8 million in FY13, 500k in FY 16 and 100k in FY17 for it's known total of 87.4 million, this means 3.7 million for PS2's final year and 158.7 million total.
