Sony probably isn't lying (because if that ever came out it would be embarrassing beyond belief and maybe even criminal, and a 'web designer' just basically quoting Jim Ryan without fact checking would be immensely amateurish), but it is slightly annoying that they're still vague about it. I get that a graphic, or special website in this case, made mainly for PR purposes doesn't need to give a precise number down to the last console, but an update to an official shipment report or something somewhere would be good.

Yeah, the Nintendo site is clearly sales figures oriented, and they barely even round the figures.
So web designers were presumably given the figures beforehand, with the primary purpose of relaying them.

The Playstation site is about the history of the systems. And there are different ways to highlight the journey. Sales being one factor.

The Nintendo site also gets updated after every financial report, so it's probably linked to it or maintained by some internal department instead of a mere web designer.
