That just means a slight delay tho. Not convinced it makes much difference, but okay. Unless it is a Vita or Wii U case where they sit on shelves for prolonged period of time and then the argument is relevant.

The PS4 doesn't have problems clearing stock either, but when numbers are reported as shipped, that's how we treat them (a site that deals with sold-to-consumer, after all). There's nothing wrong with wanting clarity on the matter. Shipped to retailer (sold-in) = 14.86m, but to Nintendo, it's sold. |
Noted. I just feel that it doesn't make any difference when it comes to hardware sales. As opposed to software sales where you can make the argument that it can determine whether it is front-loaded vs having long legs. But I see your point.
