Haha yeah no I found it myself: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102311586#.

I would never trust a word that bloke Tassi writes, if nothing else is research his limited and his writing sub-par

'Sold-through' as an economic term is actually generally used as a percentage of shipments, and does mean sold to consumers. Its a bit strange Sony switched in one paragraph from 'Sold-through' to 'retail sales' to apparently describe the same thing. But as I said, we'll know for sure when they're legally obliged to give us an accurate picture.

I know what sold-through used to mean, but this is why they specify, because debates like these crop up too often. :) 

Used to mean? Its technical meaning hasnt changed, just its application thats been varying on occasion.

Though a year back the definition of literally changed to figuratively, so I guess if they mess with it for long enough
