I can guarantee that Sony doesn't care about this even remotely close to how much people that get emotional about it do.
The only fear they have about Playstation are their bank accounts and stock portfolios.
While you worry about which console sold the most, they worry about how to maximize profits.
That's why they are in their position, and we are here.
Like Dragonball fans debating character power levels, while the creator even forgot the name of his own series.
The people that are aware of specific console sales across multiple systems are a very niche group. People like us that go on dedicated websites to nerd over these things. The vast majority don't.
I think this is a fun subject to discuss. For example, the sentence you're focusing on could very well have been added at the initiative of the web designer, and an executive looked it over and gave the approval.
Even the 160M figure could have been based on Jim Ryan's comment, for all we know.
PS2's status as the best seller or not has no bearing on their future business.
We're not seeing "successor to best selling console in history" plastered all over every Playstation add. I can't even recall if they ever relied on that in an ad campaign. Maybe decades ago leading up to the PS3 launch?
Nintendo likewise care just as little. It's a nice feather in the hat, but their concern is the system being successful financially long term.
So thinking that any of these companies are "terrified" over something that has no bearing on thier bottom line, when all they really care about is money, is projection.
It's fine to be passionate. But at least try to consider various possibilities.
