They do not do that. A fiscal report is no paper for fanboys to sadisfact themselfes or to start a console war. Its a paper for tax return that every company has to do. Everyone that works self dependend needs to do. Also a company like Sony. You HAVE TO REPORT what you sell. I am self dependend and do this as well. I cannot just hide 5 million + (!) consoles and 11 years later say "oh yeah we sold 5 million more than we reported." If i tell them 10 years later "Hey i earned an extra 50.000€ they would sue me to hell. Of course this is a much smaller amount of money. That would be a tax crime. I am sure Sony does not do that. This would be tax evasion. This is the reason why its save to say PS4 was discontinued in march 2022 because hardwarenumbers where not reported anymore. Its the same when Nintendo came out and tell us they sold 160 million DS all of a sudden. I wouldn't buy it as well. In 9½ months the PS2 did not ship 5- 7 million. No way in hell without even an announcement. See what i mean? They did not ship PS2 till 2024. There would have been games along with it to sell through stock. And 5- 7 million is a damn huge stock to sell for a 13 years old+ system. In other words the PS2 cannot have 160 million, let alone 162. You understand what i am trying to explain?

The last official sale through number was abit over 155m units back in 2012.

They didn't just stop selling them though, back in 2012.
It still had newly released games in 2013....
Repaired them until 2018.

They probably had units shipped, that just slowly sold over time? I don't know what else to say.
