Every news article I read says the Wii U sold 7.29M not shipped 7.29M, so why is everyone saying the Wii U is overtracked by 300k+? If Vgchartz is to be believed then the Wii U is only about 50-60k overtracked.

I know, I'm confused too. Even on their own website it shows it sold 7.29 M, not shipped.

Glad I am not the only one confused here...

sold in to retailers = shipped

sold trough to customers = sold

 

if nintendo shipped to retailers, they sold the units (to retailers)
thats a sell for them
