Apple edges Sony for 100m record
The report indicates that no other device will likely get close, as Sony PlayStation 3 doesn't appear to have the ubiquitous appeal that its predecessor had in market crowded by Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's own Xbox; the Motorola RAZR, which has shipped nearly 60 million units, appears to have already hit its sales peak, according to the report.
"By the end of March 2007, Sony had sold between 4.5 million and 6 million of its new PlayStation 3's worldwide. The company would have to sell 1.4 million units a month for the next 64 months to beat the record. And right now Sony is selling only about 150,000 units a month.
The report notes that Research in Motion has only 7 million subscribers (though it is unclear whether this number represents handsets or service subscribers) and Microsoft only expects to sell 1 million Zune players by the end of June 2007.

The iPod has been gone through several significant revsions. I'm sure the same was true for the Walmkan. And the PowerBook. And the Vaio. And the Ford Mustang. How can every revision of the iPod be considered to be "one product."
The "classification" seems very arbitrary.
I mean the Game Boy has like 6 versions as well. How can the iPod shuffle be counted the same as the 80GB iPod video? Hell, Apple could make notepads and call them iPod pads - charge 10 cents each, and sell a billion just for the statistic.
But I guess sodas, candy bars, and reams of paper don't cost over $50 each (unless they are really good sodas, candy, or paper!!!)
The Walkman by Sony went thru countless versions and flavors_ I remember at one point they had a Standard - Executive and Sport version of the Walkman out at the same time_
Nintendo also has gone thru at least 10 or 11 noticeable changes in the Gameboy lineup_
If you want to contrast all of this the Sony Playstation 2 only went thru 2 phyiscal versions [not including internal tweaks and changes thru the years]
I bet Apple will hit the 350Mil mark at some point_
