I believe those exported units would still be sold through normal retail channels(and therefore registered as sales through Famitsu etc.)and then exported. The exporting does not remove from the normal sales channel, unless something really dodgy is going on somewhere. |
Pretty much. It would have to be the retailers themselves purchasing the consoles, getting Nintendo to ship them to Japan, and then shipping them to another country themselves... When they could just get Nintendo to ship them to X country.
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Customers in other countries purchasing from Japan retailers would still show on Famitsu.
