" It's important to note this doesn't mean 4 million copies of the game are now in the hands of players - instead it indicates how many copies have been picked up by retailers." From the same source you posted.

I pointed that out.

Are you claiming that this game has achieved a historical overshipping record...shipping 4 million then selling under one. You would think that stores would be selling them for $5 by now.

Going towards the Holidays and looking at sales of previous entries is enough to justify a large shipment even if it doesn't sell most of it in its first week. That being said NPD had NBA 2K16 at over 1.1m first week in the US whereas VGC has it at 811k. So it is probably undertracked but shipment numbers aren't telling much for first week sales in this case.
