Does any one have the latest-known (officially published) yearly sales for the PS2? Maybe from 2007 to 2012 or similar. Just to figure/picture how the yearline decline in sales was for PS2, and use it to check if that "above 160 million" number is really possible or they're just bragging.

You can see all of that in my Historical Consoles Showdown.

It's with pure shipment numbers and sold after 2007 officially from Sony, up until March of 2012.

That's awesome! Thanks for taking the time, and for the hard work, of putting all that data together.

So, with those numbers... Do you think it is feasible that PS2 was able to sell the remaining 2.7 millions required to reach 160 millions? (your data ends with it on 157,330,000, so that 2.7 million figure is what would have need to reach the recent official number). In order to achieve that it would have need to sell an average of 337.500 units per quarter during the following two years (or 675.000 per quarter the following year), If im not mistaken.
