I guarantee you they aren't "fake" shipping.  In order to that, they would have to put companies down for shipments they didn't ask for, which will get them in enormous trouble.  I mean, it's possible but since MS knows they are under scrutiny from outside due to their size, I doubt anyone in the company would risk that.

i meant specifically 'shipping' to retailers. What would shipping over sea to storage be called?

I am reading a lot of back and forth about how much Microsoft shipped of the Ass Creed bundle and the answer is basically enough to pass what Sony had sold.  Microsoft's plan was to offer a good deal combined with Halo and to make sure they had enough stock to pass Sony.  So, its safe to assume that at the end of 2014, there was an excess of at least 700k bundles. 

So the issue is that in the US during the holidays:  In order for microsoft to overtake Sony, the minimum requirement is to have AT LEAST enough stock to do so.  Microsoft had to pad their supply by at least 1.2 million ON TOP of whatever Sony sold in November and December and it is only reasonable to assume that that is exactly what they did.
