As often the shipment numbers are better than most expectations about the Switch, I won't be surprised if they announce at least 6M shipped and something like 152M or over that.

But then again, 146.04 (the last shipments announced) were sold according to VGChartz by end of November. December did 2.7M sales worldwide and as the shipments are usually around 2-2.5M more than the sales, then if we put 2 to 2.5M above those 2.7M we get to a range of 4.7M to 5.2M. So it will be most likely anything around 151-152M range. Will there be enough demand for 9-10M more shipped units after that so that Switch pass the PS2 and it's confirmed number of 160.6M ?

Is that 160.6M even confirmed? As far as I know, the only real and confirmed thing about PS2's sales is the vague information that it sold more than 160M units.

According to Shawn Layden that PS2 picture is real with 160,636,885 units produced. Sold wise Sony has stated over 160 million, so the final total is somewhere between those two figures.

Shawn Layden confirmed this picture of what was "the last PS2 production unit" is legit

Now we know it produced 160.6M. Not all units in production will be shipped and Sony only confirmed 160.0M on their website. We know the PS3 had a production total of +88M yet only shipped 87.4M
