Nintendo says exactly how many DS systems they have sold on their IR website.

I see, down to the ten thousands.

People should know though that what's on a website isn't neccesarily coming from reading internal documents. Not even that 160M figure.
Web designers take a lot of initiative. And while they will seek final approval from the higher up responsible for the project, that "one of the most sold" sentence could very well come from the web designers own research.

Don't know about the Playstation website, but Nintendo's IR website is for investors so I'm pretty sure that they are using internal documents to substantiate that number.
