Sold is used to refer to both shipped and sold to consumers, but more commonly it refers to shipped in business.
Shipped is sold to retailer. It cannot be assumed that it is sold through unless explicitly stated
The numbers in Nintendo's site have always been shipped for hardware and shipped+digital for software.
The 14.86m figure is consolidated sales, meaning sales for all regions, and I see no evidence that it is "sold through"
