these numbers are shipped right? Then why are most media reporting these numbers as sell through numbers?

Because most of the media are idiots....? Console manufacturers nearly always report shipped because to them a sale is when the retailor buys stock from them, the money the customer hands over in the store they don't see. The only reason they might care about how a product is selling through to the customer is when they try to predict when a retailor might order in more stock.

For fuck sakes - i have  completely lost faith in the media
