A slice from Reuter’s article:

Sony said that 980,000 of the sleek black machines were shipped in the second quarter, and reiterated that it was on track to ship 10 million worldwide by the end of the business year to March 31.

The world's second-largest consumer electronics maker hopes to sell four million in Japan, three million in North America, and three million in Europe.

Eight million PlayStation 2 software games, produced by both Sony and other companies, have been shipped so far. Of that, 3.4 million were sold in the three months to September.
