I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fanboys cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

The press release starts like this:
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced that sales of its newly-released Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots title for PLAYSTATION®3 have exceeded one million units within the first week.
Konami has shipped over one million copies of the game to retailers across Europe to meet the exceptional demand, with high sales confirmed in all European territories and securing the Number One position in the relevant sales charts.
This is getting very confusing, as usual with PR people. Is the game sold out in many stores? If it was, I'd believe that one million units might have been sold. When they say "over one million" I usually assume "1 million and a little more".
