So PS2 does 1.8m in the last reported year (FY12) but somehow does average of 2.5m in each of the proceeding 2 years after that (well slightly less than 2 years) before being discontinued? What other consoles have done that?

 Also Sony didn’t report the supposed 160m total (even to shareholders from what I understand) even though it is a massive achievement for the highest selling console of all time? Doesn’t add up nor that plausible. What am I missing? Are the dates wrong and was it discontinued much later (much much later)?

Correction: PS2 did >1.8mil in FY’12. That figure was likely closer to 3-4mil, though Sony (for whatever reason) chose not to be super precise. I don’t view this as incriminating nor evidence of anything conclusive, and to suggest otherwise just sounds like cope for if Switch doesn’t reach 160mil.

So they just decided to report a false number because it doesnt matter and who cares? That just seems so bizarre to me. Im still considering switch the winner at 156 anyway, the figure was 155 for as long as i can remember. So you can say im coping, and maybe i am, i dont care to think too deeply about it, all i know is that its been 155 forever, these 5 million new consoles have no logical explanation that i can see, so this is just what im going to go with, it just makes the most sense. Switch will officially be number 1 sometime in 2026. There is no way it doesnt make it.
