I agree with Gammalad, Nintendo and also Sony & Microsoft have always specified if it's sold or shipped and they would have to, investors need to know that, it's important info.

Investors need to know accurate figures. They know the exact amount of consoles they have shipped, they don't know how many are still sat on shelves so can only estimate the amount that has been sold through, estimates are unacceptable for financial reports.

Edit: Also, if you want proof that financial reports use shipped figures then look at this post... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6789373

Okay, I get it now. Thank you for clearing that up for me  

Ignornance of how sales work with gaming media leads to even more confusion. I find it extremely frustrating.
