Sony earlier announced shipment figures for the PlayStation 4 have surpassed 102.8 million units lifetime as of September 30, 2019.

I thought PS1 had 104.25 milllion sold? Isn't this like a month premature to talk about it passing PS1? I mean it's inevitable either way, but they're going to have to write another article in a month saying it passed PS1 again. And then probably another article a month after that when it passes PS1 in sold-through sales. Again, I know it's inevitable, but can't we just write one article per milestone, and save it for when the console actually passes another in sales of hardware sold through to consumers?
