I'll copy and paste my last reply on this subject for the sake of ease.
Nintendo's figures are shipped, not sold, just like everyone else, which only makes sense because they have no control over the accuracy of third party numbers. Unlike Sony, they do not and never have used the term shipped, but that's exactly what they mean. A quick look at any of their financial reports demonstrates this, but I will give you a for instance. Console sales in Japan for the week ending December 31 are listed as 973,468. Nintendo's units sold in their financial report is 1.14 million.
