Straight from Sony's website it has officially shipped/sold 1.537 billion units of software as of March 31, 2012. Where is this 1.24 billion coming from?

PS2 wasn't officially discontinued until December 2012/January 2013 hardware wise which means the hardware and software are both higher but we don't know how high. 

Sorry buddy, but If you look at your source again it says for software "sell-in" and for hardware it says "sell-through"

sell-in = Units delivered to retailers = shipments

sell-through = units sold to end user/customer = sales

The 1537 cumulative shipments could very well be inaccurate but Sony wouldn't be the first nor the last company to inflate numbers using shipments instead of sales.

Good effort though.
