According to the press release, the figures are shipped, not sold through, so some of the number will be copies still on shelves and in transit.

"ELDEN RING" 1M Units Sold in Japan, 12M Units Sold Worldwide! - PressRelease | FromSoftware

"The total sales figure is derived from distribution figures of the package version and sales figures of the downloadable versions."

Famitsu's numbers are sold through, so the difference won't be all digital sales.

Also according to Famitsu the sold vs shipped ratio was 80-100%. So at maximum, 20% of all famitsu sold through sales would be the amount sitting on shelves.

So saying 350k sold, that would be 70k on shelves.

All I'm saying is that these are factors to be kept in mind if we're going to try to guesstimate a figure. There's also a 10 day differential between Famitsu's figures here and today's PR.
