It is not always true that sold will eventually equal shipped.
When software goes unsold, the companies will sometimes take it back from the retailers (probably they wait a few years after the game goes out of print)
The vast majority of the time of course, 99.9% of what is shipped will be sold eventually, but on occasion I would think some games that are massively over shipped might end up being partially recalled.
However it is highly unlikely.

Also I don't know why, but I think this is both a funny, and brilliant sentence:
"Forgive my english, i'm french."
