You really think this guy knows how to find the financial reports.
@predictsales... finally a little info from you (not exactly a link unfortunately) So you got it from GameSpot, (which isn't down for me... so hopefully you can get a direct link now)
GameSpot is a website, a website that posts news articles, they do not understand the difference between shipped and sold anymore than you do, I am seachng the site now, but the article likely came straight from Take2 announcing they have sold that many (no other place than here tracks worldwide sales as a single entity, which means it must have been Take2 announcing the SHIPMENTS)
Edit: ok just found this article http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6119634.html?tag=result;title;0
Which states your figure... the article gives Take2's president as the source.... Take 2 does not announce worldwide sales to gamers because they cannot know it, what they do announce is how many they have sold to retailers (classed as shipped on this website) which means Take2 sold them, but they have not all been bought yet by gamers.
