Sony never shipped 160 million consoles. They would have 10000% have made a press release like they did for 150 million ... what you're the only game hardware in history to hit 160 million shipped and you don't even utter a peep about it?

Bulllllllll shit.

They never shipped 160 million units to consumers. Plain and simple. When Switch was approaching to overtake the PS2 they quietly release this "production number" onto the internet that inflates their total using a bunch of systems that were never sold to consumers. Who believes that's just a coincidence? lol, gimme a break.

The real number in the best case scenario for Sony is 159 million something, and it may well be below that. 

Exactly this. 

I’ve said this in a post a long time before - the fact that Sony never announced that they reached the 160m milestone back in the day is very telling. For a console to reach 160m is an incredible achievement and definitely worthy for a company to announce publicly - even purely as a PR flex if anything. For no announcement to be made (even to shareholders?), on what would have been a massive milestone of the highest console sales ever… doesn’t really add up and to me. Particularly to leave the offical total of at 15Xm for so long without an update. Just doesn’t add up.  

I highly doubt Sony sold 160m.

Public: What are the final sales figures for the PS2?

Sony: Ummm whatever the Switch sold + 1 million.
