Oh they said consumers? As in used the word, not just said 'sold-through?' If so I apologise, I missed that.

But I agree, we still wont know what they have shipped either way. People from some parts of the world reckon the PS4 is nearly sold out, from other parts they insist they could walk into a Best Buy and purchase a pallet of 50. We just don't know.

Yep sold to consumer. Then again, sold-through is the exact same meaning, at least for them. Whenever Sony states this, they make sure they also reiterate the specific meaning. When they announced that they had shipped 13.5 million units by September 30, the term: "sold-through" was never used.

Haha yeah no I found it myself: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102311586#.

I would never trust a word that bloke Tassi writes, if nothing else is research his limited and his writing sub-par

'Sold-through' as an economic term is actually generally used as a percentage of shipments, and does mean sold to consumers. Its a bit strange Sony switched in one paragraph from 'Sold-through' to 'retail sales' to apparently describe the same thing. But as I said, we'll know for sure when they're legally obliged to give us an accurate picture.
