The important part is mindshare of what the record is. Independent on what is discussed on this forum, we need to look at what the general belief of PS2 sales actually is.
Outlets with greater audience reach than VGCharz seem to take the 155 million number as the number to beat. If Switch does go 155million + the majority of publications will declare the Switch the winner. And with that the mindshare of gamers and non-gamers will be that the Switch is the best selling console.
Some references to make my point:
