Is this shipped+digital?

Yes it is and it always will be unless a publishers is citing a tracking service.

They are citing tracking services (asterisks). And they said sold-through.

No they are not. The aterisks were all for internal rewards and common sense (no other game will have come close, even if Mario Kart's 1.2 million shipment sold out). The only source for the 4 million is how much Ubisoft sold through to retailers (they are Ubisoft's customers, not you). 

If you at the press release itself, you'll see they use tracking services and internal data to determine they're the number one selling new IP. None of it is explicitly tied to the 4 million sold/shipped figure.

It looks like Watch Dogs is going to a big franchise for the gen.

Dude, this is all a matter of wording. Look here is the 1 million PS4 tweet by Shuhei Yoshida:

See what it says? "Sold through".

You know what? You're 100% right, and I am 100% wrong.

Still believe sold through means shipped unless direct sourcing the number. No one doubted PS4 numbers at the time because it was sold out everywhere.

News like this also tell us that gaming is in no shape or form dying, which is great.


Only in Japan is gaming doomed :P


Yes, and its for only Home consoles.



Well though your are right about it, 3DS the leading HW aint even doing so hot now, that says something :-/ (last week was the lowest HW week in total since 2004)

Making it sound as though somebody said it would be the opposite ?

"Sold through" refers to moving a product through the entirety of a distribution chain (Producer -> Wholesaler -> Retailer -> Consumer) (Sometimes a wholesaler or retailer are skipped)

"Sold to" refers to moving a product only to the next link in the distribution chain. It would equal the term "shipped".
