That's easy to believe.
4% share in the US alone works out to almost 400,000. If their "rest-of-the world" sales match or better that, they could easily be selling a over a half-million more. Previous (2009) reports had them selling about 800,000 units a year so a lifetime install base of 2-3 million is an easy reach given they've been around for five years or so.

Another issue is price - until 2010, Sonys were priced a lot more competitively than they are now.
