Why would anyone prefer shipment figures over sold to consumers?

Because the figures are higher and it'll help them sleep at night?

Maybe they think the sold to consumer numbers are way off and shipments numbers are always very very trustworthy since they come from the companies themselves.

Or maybe because they're more accurate

Not for actual userbase. Shipments are just that; shipments.

Paraphrasing Wiihaters: "Haha, 3rd party games don't sell on the Wii, Epic Mickey will never come close to 1 million. Disney and Spector made a huge mistake making this for Wii"

I think pretty much everybody agreed that Epic Mickey was the perfect game for the Wii.

Unless you have some kind of a proof? Otherwise you're just baiting.

I swear one could find kingoffate thread or somebodies thread that said it would do bad. (Or was that for another game(

There was plenty of skepticism on Epic Mickey, and tons of port begging. From the the games press especially...

I'm surprised that sport champions sold really better in NA than in EMEEA even the HW basis is more important in EMEAA than in the NA.

Etonnant, non?

Wii sales are great but not as great as last year.

XBX360 bust may be thanks to the S model and the low price.

Too bad about PS3 but is not as bad as one could think.

Shipment numbers are exactly that, the number shipped out to retail. That does not equate to how many consoles have actually been bought by consumers, only how many are out there to buy.
