It's not even worth arguing, people will believe whatever they want to believe. Look how many times I've argued that corporate reports are shipped numbers, but every three months it's the same thing, someone want to believe the numbers are sold to consumer.
I assume shipped unless it's explicitly stated otherwise. Since there seems to be no explicit statement otherwise, I assume this number is shipped. I'm not saying I'm always right, but this is my policy when it comes to PR statements. I've seen enough PR to realize that they will push the limits as far as it will go to make their product sound as successful as possible. That's their job.
If you want to believe otherwise, I'm not going to argue with you since it would be like arguing with a brick wall.
