I think this is the case. If you subtract about 10% from VGC figures to remove Canada, you get:
Two weeks ago, 300k sold to retailers, 229k to customers
One week ago, 350k sold to retailers, 431k to customers
650k were shipped and 660k were sold during those two weeks. Sounds about right to me. Some retailers held shipments for Black Friday, which explains how they could sell more than they were shipped last week (since they sold less than they were shipped the week before).
