They clearly stated sold so I don't know what you don't understand about that.

But even if you are correct,difference between shipped and sold is so small,especially for this kind of title,can't imagine much of them standing on shelfs.

So yeah,I bet bear 5 million by now.You guys are also pretty ignorant about digital sales which are huge these days.

So with 5 million by now times 35$ = 175 million $.

Nice.

When ever a company says sold, they mean shipped.  For them, they ship a game, because it is sold.  They sell a game to stores, then stores sell the game to people.  Companies count the number of copies that they sell to stores.  Do you really think that they are able to keep track of all the titles sold from Kmart, Gamestop, all the random little shops that have the game to be sold?  

Well,of course,you didn't need to explain all that,it's clear to me.But then why do you want to differentiate shipped vs sold coz it's sold for the company when it's shipped.And we are trying to calculate here how many Sony earned so shipped and sold are basically synonyms for this topic.
