because sony said sold through. 

So they know one day before how many they sold through in the world? Didn't know they could track this fast. NPD is kind of pointless then.

Exactly. Sony says sold through, everyone jumps in and says that means it's ps4 systems sitting in someone's livingroom... ok. Sold through... to stores. A ps4 on a store shelf is still a sold system, for them. 18.5 million shipped. Simple.

I hate to break it you but you're wrong. If Sony said the number is sold through then it's sold through. This is not shipped. Sony has been very clear about the difference between shipped and sold for the whole generation. A direct sell through number from Sony is fact. You cannot possibly argue that this number is shipped. There is absolutely no ground for you to stand on in this scenario. 18.5m PS4s have been sold to consumers. Simple.
