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. 

The final figure was known to have been millions above 155m for a long time and in fact it was 158.7m on here a few years ago so there's no justification at all for treating 155m as the final total. This Tweet explains why the range was known to have been from the high 150's to the early 160's so the final total being barely above 160m is in line with that.
