Why don't I find the 4.5m in the press release? Is it only in the title?

i thought it was just me...  I was wondering where the number came from too.

The news in OP is incomplete... there is a table.

cheers.

so when was the press release.... er... released?

and are they talking sell through or shipped?  (I know Ninty tend to talk sold through on things like this)

Today (03/06/12). The sources are NPD and Nintendo of America... so sold through I guess.
