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"

I see no evidence to prove it is shipped either.

The evidence is that Nintendo almost always report shipped, and when they don't such as the 10m figure they explicitly state sold through to consumers. The "sales" in their financial reports are shipped figuree, as they always have been. They're not suddenly going to change their financial reports to sold-through after decades with no indication that is what they're talking about.
