There are well over 200 million ps branded systems sold if you count PS1 100million, PS2 130 million and PSP 30 million.
(made up numbers, but I think they are close)

I take that back, I had no idea the PS1 only sold like 20 million systems. you can add another 10 million for PS3.

No you are right, the PSone only sold 20 million systems (the updated ps1) but the PS1 and PSone together sold 100.49 million or something like that

Whenever I see that picture, I think he is holding a big PS3. Turns out, he is just a small man.
Congrats Ken
