There's a difference between sold and sold through
When a company says "sold", then you should take that as shipped to retailers (cause that is sold for them) unless they specify otherwise.
And one way to specify otherwise is by saying "sold through" which basically means sold to customers.
Again, could be a mistake from Ubisofts' PR guys though.

When Sony said they sold 1 million PS4s in 24 hours, no one interpreted that as "shipped". Same with the WD numbers. No one is saying "Oh, these are shipped numbers." However, with Mario Kart 8 - oh no, of course not. There's no way Nintendo sold that many. Yeah, these numbers are shipped. Yep. Now I can sleep better at night.

Dude, this is all a matter of wording. Look here is the 1 million PS4 tweet by Shuhei Yoshida:
See what it says? "Sold through".

You know what? You're 100% right, and I am 100% wrong.
