And according to ioi, shipped = sold. |
The link you are quoting from is to a post made 7 years ago, from a thread about a list of estimated software figures. It says 'shipped=sold give or take a few tens of thousands in most of these cases'. It appears to be commenting about how close the shipped and sold figures were for that specific software at that specific time. Therefore it has been quoted out of context, and has nothing to do with the discussion here. I don't understand the point you're trying to make, by digging up something that old and irrelevant, and pledging to keep repeating it.
Back on topic, it's been established well enough on this thread now, thanks to ioi's explanations, what VGChartz figures represent and how they are used. The only issues seem to stem from the general lack of understanding here and across the internet about this. From what I've seen on this thread, ioi has been receptive to feedback and suggestions in that respect, and if that is addressed, it may lead to a reduction in VGChartz bashing in the future.
