And yet, the article writer proceeds to say "it's not a major difference". So maybe he doesn't know the difference between shipped and sold. And casual readers are probably not gonna click every hyperlink in an article, so they'll see "4.2M PS4s, 3.9M XBones, not a major difference" and think they are equal.
Remember the thread about Aaron Greenberg giving out the 3.9M number, and people called it out, and ioi said that he wasn't being misleading about the sold figure (although Greenberg said "sold" in the tweet)? Well, this is what happens. People are quoting the shipped figure, which is way higher than the sold figure, and it makes people think that the PS4 and XBone are on equal footing, currently
