Man its gonna suck if the Switch's final sales total ends up between 160-160.99 Million lol. Then there will always be a constant debate on which console is #1 between the Switch and the PS2.

However for me, as long as the Switch's surpasses 160.01 Million, I'll give the win to the Switch. Nintendo is at least giving a confirmed number which will always hold more weight than a vague range from Sony.

But I'm happy now we finally have a better idea of how much the PS2 actually sold now. We can finally remove the 155-159M estimated range from the discussions and get a better idea of what the Switch needs to sell to reach to outsell it.

Yeah it is kind of sad. PS2 was the greatest selling console of all time in the 2000s, but it was cheap. Not very profitable.

Switch becoming the greatest selling console of all time in the 2020s is also great. But there are simply a lot more gamers nowadays. It is so much more profitable.

Both are amazing achievements and hardly relevant to each other. We don't need to constantly debate and discredit the numbers.
