I asked on the other site as well but can't we now use this and what we have for PS4 to determine a somewhat accurate figure for PS Vita?

If you're talking about this to find out the figures for the PSVita, it's going to be complicated because Sony is talking about ‘Sell-through Surpass 525.3 Million Units’ but the figures for the PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 that we know are Sell-in. And Sell-in =/= Sell-through.

https://sonyinteractive.com/en/press-releases/2018/sony-interactive-entertainment-introduces-playstation4-pro-500-million-limited-edition/

Lets do some maths: This was in 2018 and Sony says they sold through 525,3 million PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3. All 4 systems where discontinued at the time of this announcement (august 2018). We have 102,49 million PS1, 87,4 millon PS3 and 82,51 million PSP (this number stinks for reasons i mentioned but thats a different topic) so lets calculate: 102,49 PS1+ 87,4 million PS3+ 82,51 million PSP= 272,4 million if i am not mistaken. Ok. Lets subtract this number from 525,3 million: 525,3- 272,4= 252,9 million PS2??? That can't be true. If we add in the PS4 it would be~ 84,23 million for that time. So:

PS1 102,49+ PS3 87,4+ PS4 84,23+PSP 82,51= 

Lets subtract: 525,3- 352,5= 172,8 million PS2? Does not add up quite...

Lets add in the Vita. We know the Vita outsold the WiiU. So lets add in at least 13,57 million Vita systems

PS1 102,49+ PS3 87,4+ PS4~ 84,23+ PSP 82,51+ Vita 13,57= 370,2 million

Lets subtract again: 525,3- 370,2= 155,1 million. We get to exactly (what a surprise) 155,1 million units sell through. Add in the fact that in 2018 only the PS4 and the PSVita where still being produced. And i am pretty pessimistic for the Vita. But its interesting i am getting exattly 155,1 million units, don't you think?

160 million shipped PS2 is nothing more than wishful fantasy!
