Shilling for Sony? First it was Jim ryan then Sony just recently announced it. Hitting 160m is cool I guess. Has Sony ever lied about total sales figures? I'm just questioning why would they lie about it especially the PS2. I don't think 1 or 2m would make any difference. If Nintendo wants the Switch to surpass 160m they could easily do it by keep making it for the next 3 or 4 years but I don't think they care as much as you do

Yes shilling for Sony because you blatantly left out Sony also said 155 million in 2018. I wonder why you would just leave that out your post. So I'll help you out. In 2018, Sony said the PS2 has sold 155.1 million as if March 2012 (apparently they underreported the PS2 because they obviously meant 160?). Now all of a sudden they (Sony and Jim Ryan) are so interested in telling the world it was 160 all along. So maybe I need to help you understand it is a financial crime for Sony or anyone to lie on those financial reports and this is because a shareholders can't reasonably make a decision to invest in your publicly traded company if you are lying on the reports to begin with. I say that because its not illegal for a prior employee (Jim Ryan) to lie in a podcast so this is why people said maybe he isn't lying and just rounded up because Sony themselves never reported this. Sony now is posting it on their site, which im honestly not sure if that would be a crime but i imagine yes so Sony is likely not lying however Sony not adjusting the date is very questionable. 

You have yet again tried to tell me my feelings, care as much as I do? Nintendo doesn't care but Sony certainly does because they cared to make the change.

Edit: You didn't really answer the question, when will it surpass 160? Or are you still holding hope?

I didn't know Sony said 155m in 2018. If they really did say it was at 155m in 2018 then why  did we have outside parties saying it was at 160m or near it for years. Even vgchartz had it at 159m. Btw I only read these numbers from posters on vgchartz. I dont remember I ever saw it as low as 155m. Surely there must be reasons for them to think it could be above 160m. Maybe Sony they didn't bother adjusting the number since 2012 or 2013 when it was at 155m. As to your question will Switch surpasses the PS2 and when. I have no idea and I don't care. Seriously I don't know when Nintendo releases their next console and when Nintendo phasing out the switch. Currently it's at 140m so I think the minimum it will do is 150m and could go as high as 170m if Nintendo don't phase out the switch until 2030?
