Thats what i mean. If a non Nintendo handheld passed a Nintendo handheld, the guinessbock would mention it, Sony would not have been shy of announcing it with a nuckear blast. The same goes for that mystical PS2 160 million number. There was even a report on a german webside where sony called the person who falsly asumed that the DS would have beaten the PS2 that they where nearing 160 million back in November 2012. And that till march 2012 155,1 million units have been shipped (ausgefolgt in german). I wish i could still find that source. But lets leave that. I don't want to start World War 3 in here🤣😂

I was one of the people stalking back in 2012 and 2013, for the last few official reports for the PS2, but they just combined the whole thing with the PS3 and the Vita. Then I had hopes that at least by 2014 we will get that PS2 data. And we didn't .. I always knew it was more than 155M. But the official data never came after that .. For me it was always somewhere in the 157-158M range.

Official data from Sony was 155,1 million shipped as of march 2012. (More than 155 million sold) Some people thought it was sold and ~ 2- 3 million where on shelfes. Thats why there was this 158 million number. We will probably never know the truth and should Switch really enter 158- 160 million airspace there will be bloodfights who is Nr.1 for all eternity.
