Its shipped? I thought its sales, as in sold to retailers? (they used the word sales not shipped).

Ain't there a difference?

Its shipped. Its always shipped. To Nintendo (or Sony and MS), a unit shipped is always a unit sold.

Oh ok

I thought shipped is what the company shipped off the boat to their warehouses, and sales or 'sold to retailers' is what retailers order from the houses (the final number the company can keep track of)

Well they should have just used the word 'shipped'. Using sales for ship is dumb. Do like microsoft
