Possible for anyone to answer the question in my previous post?

I don't usually get too involved with statements like these until recently so I don't really know if they ever use "sold" for one thing and then "shipped" for another in the same press conference.

For example when Microsoft gives out their numbers, do they sometimes give "sold" numbers for let's say the 360 and "shipped" numbers for the Zune? Or are they both compared exactly the same when it comes to the type of sales?

They are always shipped.

Companies don't know how much of their product has reached consumers hands.

Companies ALWAYS say sold... and they mean shipped.

Unless they got that number from a tracking firm... which nobody does world wide tracking outside of VGchartz...

There is almost no way they'd use that info.  Using your shipped numbers is all that makes sense.
