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

My opinion is widly known here. I think this "in loving Memory" numbers are so fishy, it smells all around the world like the Tsar Bombas shock wave. This 82,51 million number was ptinted by Laydon himself just to make himself feel better against the GBA. I mean exactly 1 million more units and we only know 10 years after discontinuation?! Come on! This PS2 looks fake as well. O say: IF the PSP suroassed the GBA all media would have talked about about the first time a non Nintendo handheld passed a Game Boy and Sony would not have been shy pumping out a huge PR in 2014. About the PS2 as well: IF the system really passed 160 million, why not announce it in 2013 when it was ceased? Answer: Because it hasn't. Why "announce" it when it became clear that Switch will get to 155 million minimum!? Before attacking and insulting me, people should think about this! If they sold tgat much it would mean they had more income than they told their investors. Sell more, earn more, pay income tax! So they would have commited a tax crime. This is why i don't believe that.
