Out of curiosity where is that sell through figure coming from?  I would kind of think that Square would have announced sold instead of shipped if the sell through rate was that high.

And they did announce it, alongside the 3.5 million news. They shipped and sold 1m in Japan(physical and digital) and since Famitsu reported a sell through of 95.9% for the physicals then that means the rest of the 1 million are digital sales. Add this week's sales then that would amount to more than 1m sales for FF7r in Japan.

Don't see a sell through number there.

As for shipped and sold, interpreted it as the amount of physical copies they shipped (not necessarily sold) + the amount of digital copies they sold= 3.5 million.  I could be wrong about that, but otherwise, it would make more sense to me for them to say that they sold 3.5 million.
