I dont accept the 160 million figure anyway, so once it passes 156 I will consider it the champion and I will continue to reference it as such whether or not it passes 160

Yeah I think Sony needs to show receipts for that 160 number too.
Things like store kiosk units, promotional units, maybe even defective units could/likey are part of that 160+ number as it's (well) a production number. It likely encompasses as PS2 unit produced for any reason, that's not the same as units shipped to a retailer for sale.
That's not the same as a sold through or shipped number. Either show a sell through number or the last known shipment number is the number to beat.
The fact that they're using a "production number" is a pretty clear sign they are being deceptive. They know damn well the final actual shipment total for the PS2, so why not just share that number instead of this number. They don't want to, because that shipment number is under 160m IMO. They are scared the Switch 1 is going to beat that number. There's no other reason to withhold that.
