So:

1.) As PS2 Slim also had demostations and bigger stores had more than 1 of those, also exhibitions like E3, Pax... had them there should be a lot more than 600k.

2.) A RESOLD product (a product that already counted 1 time) can hardly be seen as a sale let alone produced or shipped unit.

3.) Broken consoles- demostations or costumers systems- cannot be counted deffinitly! 

So if this was really true this 160.6 million number should be A LOT lower! Shipped consoles to stores for costumers should be clearly below 160 million! 

1) I don't think you understand how many consoles 600k would be. Sony can use demo stations multiple times for PAX and E3. There are only 50k consumer electronic stores in the US currently, and the US is a HUGE market. 

2) You say this, but the fact of the matter is that Sony includes returned and refurbished units in their shipped data. How else would you count a refurbished unit?

3) Not broken systems, repaired systems.

2) By serial number.  A refurbished unit would have the original serial number. Possibly not all parts, like those perhaps that got replaced, but the overall serial number would remain the same to track the history of the unit.
