That sentence is pretty clearly formulated, but if you get a different idea from it we'll just have to disagree.
I've never seen a company use sold-through and mean shipped. Sold-through literally means sold to consumers. The term for shipped is sold-in (or just sold). Maybe you have some examples of sold-through being used for shipped, I don't know.
In any case, this game has outpaced ACIII (their previous record), which sold 3.1m week one on PS3 and X360.
So yes, this game has sold 4m copies, unless they sold 3.2m and just shipped 4m, which is very doubtful and would make the game impossible to find now.
