Sony on their "Business Data & Sales" page lists sell-in (shipped) to the nearest 100,000 for every console, except for the PS4. PS2 is at 160.0 million, which to me suggests it is below 160.1 million. So it likely barely crossed 160 million.

What about the PSP? Why it was left at only 76.4M shipped ? This is the second exception. The third one is VITA is not included at all.

So we don't have fully correct (to the nearest 100k) numbers for three of the consoles, one cut off by 200k, other by around 5M, and third not listed at all. While I agree that PS2 most than everything barely passed 160M (based on all the other circumstances), judging purely by the accurate data for sales on the Sony page (to the nearest 100k) it becomes 3 vs 3, when we exclude the PS2 (the obvious one in the discussion and the one we don't know exact numbers). So if we go straight by their info, it's 3 on 3, which means 50/50, if we should assume purely based on the Sony "accurate" data to the nearest 100k.
