A number that has never been officially announced is not official. And a random programmer at SIE cannot be taken seriously. Sony's official shipments for the PS3 where 87,4 million as of march 31, 2017. Discontinued may 30, 2017. 1 million in 2 months? Its the same fairytale as the allegedly 160 million PS2's from Ryan (wich is made up for "160 million+" just to fake up the number even higher).

Keep in mind that number itself was an estimate ('more than 87.4 million') and shipped =/= produced units. There are demo units, warranty replacements, etc.

But you cannot count demo units shipped or even sold because they get sent back to the company. I worked in a gamesstore and i can confirm this. The original Xbox demostation was sent back in july 2007 at our store. If i include this number everywhere i can tell you there would be far more GBA's than 81,51 million, far more DS than 154,02 million (ok not the 160 wishfull dream of Ryan but quite a bit more). Warranty replacements are systems that REPLACE others. These are not counted. IF MS would count them (and finally give us an official number- it was 84 million as of june 2014), the number would be close to 90 million if not more. And we all know that the RRod rate was far higher on the Xbox 360 than the YLOD on the PS3. See what i mean?
