The idea that Sony is lying about the sales numbers doesn't make sense. Even if you want to use the argument that "its not illegal to lie about them now 10+ years after discontinuation". Sony was still reporting PS2 numbers after that 155 Million mark, just combining it with PS3's just to make the PS3's sales numbers look better at the time. Based on those numbers and reports from Sony people have done the math that puts the PS2's sales numbers anywhere between 158.9-161.9M, which is right around the 160M range which falls completely in line with the 160M sold figure.
So you'd also have to claim that Sony was lying about their PS3/PS2 numbers during a time period while those consoles were still active, which IS illegal and highly unlikely.
All the evidence points towards the PS2 being around 160 Million and no lying has occured.
