They probably never even hit 160 million shipped. They released a press release when they hit 150 million, but declined to have one for 160 million? Then when the Switch is starting to get within reaching distance they release this so-called "production number" ... puh-lease. Who really is buying that.
They would have made a press release if they actually hit 160 mill when it happened, they didn't because it never happened.
They never shipped 160 million to begin with, plain and simple. Probably at least a million units fall into that testing/marketing/kiosk/replacement/defective unit category at least, I would bet they fizzled around somewhere around 157-159 million and never got to a real shipment total of 160 mill. If they had, they would have said so a lot earlier, when Switch started to look like it would overtake that number then they scrambled for a "production total" number that inflates their unit total over 160 mill even though they never shipped/sold that total at all.
