Yeah! How he use official sources and extrapolate from there! Especially when it disagrees with your point!

Jokes aside, his method is not a bad one to estimate current shipped numbers, assuming Nintendo is replacing like-with-like. It isn't perfect but there's no need to react like he's performed some taboo action.

We are talking about sold units here, not shipped. Read carefully .. and I have written it few times in my previous posts that he quoted and answered, and still calculating shipments .. my original comment that he quoted was answer for other post that was all about the sold units not the shipped ones. Of course the shipped will be 2M higher .. And I reacted that way cuz he is constantly working with wrong or miscalculated data, it isn't so hard to check every time.. the data, the post, the article, or whatever it is about the topic of the discussion.

Unless stock is shipped into consignment stock, which will account on the balance sheet, a shipped item will account for Cost of Goods Sold and an invoice will be generated accounting Revenue. There is no better way to address number of sold products to align it with how the financial results are calculated.
