The 1.6m figures comes from estimates by Screen Digest magazine from March 1995. They estimated the active installbase of the mastersystem in france in 1993 was 1.6m. So that would suggest even higher sales than 1.6m unless they were estimating 100% of units sold were active in that year.
Another article I found from an old magazine says 600,000 Master Systems were sold in France in 1991 alone (it apparently got a price cut this year) so I would say the 1.6m figure is very likely the closer figures than 970k.
