I know that's what you're saying but you don't seem to understand that 14.86m sold to consumers means MORE shipments then 14.86m shipments.
Nintendo get the money as soon as they ship. So this is why sold-in (shipped) and sold-through (to consumers) matter to Nintendo.
If the 14.86m is sold-in (shipped) then they have made at $300 a piece, $4.2 Billion in revenue.
If the 14.86m is sold-through (to consumers) then they MUST have shipped more than 14.86m, likely 16m+ shipped. Which would be $4.8 Billion in Revenue.
That's why the definition of this figure matters for Nintendo.
If the 14.86 is shipped they've made around $4.2 Billion in Revenue (because they've been paid for shipping 14.86m units)
If the 14.86 is Sold-Through they've made around $4.8 Billion in Revenue (because they've been paid for shipping ~16m units)

How do I not understand it? I've just not commented on it because I'm not talking about that. I get that if it'd 14.8 million sold in then that means shipments would be way higher. Like right now VGC probably has rhe switch undertracked by about 1.7 million which would be 14 million sold through and 800k shipped. I get that. I was just trying to say that to Nintendo the 14.8 million is as good as sold to consumers even if it means shipped lol.

Yeah its only a matter of time, until they adjust the numbers up by 1.5m-1.7m or so.
