I'm not the one arguing the distinction between the two.  I very clearly stated that the way VGChartz tracks sold units is consistent among its tracking of all hardware manufacturers.  But, thanks for editing out all of the context of my post and the bolded statement that I thought I had made it abundantly clear I was remarking on.  It's ironic that the majority of your post confirms rather than contradicts what I said.

Funny that in addition to VGChartz every single person on this Quora Question (https://www.quora.com/Does-shipped-mean-delivered), the Oxford English Dictionary(SHIPPED | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary) as well as Amazon use the term in the wrong way. Also interesting that Nintendo which certainly is in the same industry as Playstation also uses shipped and sell-through as two different metrics that can differ by millions (Nintendo: Switch Sell-Through Sales 'Has Surpassed 30 Million Units as of the End of January' (vgchartz.com), 190201_2e.pdf (nintendo.co.jp)).

But you certainly are much more intelligent than all those people combined.
