Shipped vs Sold

So 3DS: 29.84-28.2= 1.64 in stock

This is a question I've been asking myself for a while now. When a console is shipped, does Nintendo get their money right away from the retailer since the retailer buy the consoles from Nintendo in order to later sell them to the customers or does Nintendo need to wait for the retailer to sell it to the customer before they can get their money?

Nintendo gets the money right away, chances are the shipped consoles will probably sell and if they do not retailers often do store discounts.
