Wish they'd stop using shipped numbers.

What should they use instead? They don't have a crystall ball, they can't know anything other than shipped numbers.


They have access to NPD, Enterbrain and have they own tracking service with major retailers, just like Nintendo and MS. And just like Nintendo and MS they report sold in (shipped) numbers instead of sold through (sold to retailers) as that will always make it sound/seem better. It's just industry standard. The Nintendo fanboy dude crying cheating was funny though.

You can call a Nintendo Fanboy all you want. I am not crying about the sales anyway til not enough the master Nintendo games. Enterbrain is tracking their own service which I don't care about cause Shipped doesn't means sold.  NPD is what I go by. If they count shipped then DS should be at 200 million by now and Wii, and PSP should be at 120 or higher while 360 and PS3 at 100 or higher. 3DS would had been at 10-30 million if they count shipped. I go by Sold if the game is still in the store it should not be count as Sold. Calling me a Nintendo Fanboy and don't even know what consoles I own is ignorant. I owned all Sony consoles to date. I owned every Nintendo consoles since SNES.
