It isn’t. Shipped to retailers is sold. Really that simple.

Yes shipped is sold, but it is not "sold-through" so yes title is misleading.

Sold is sold as far as Nintendo is concerned. Retail or consumer once it leaves the warehouse it’s sold.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It really puts into perspective just how much of a flop the Wii U was, that thing just bombed.

Unless units get sent back like what happened with Wii U



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Yes... I agree with you... that doesn't mean 14.86m is "sold-through".

Can’t argue with that. Still say the name and controller design were the biggest issues.

Excellent news overall!Im specially astonished by Oddyssey and Xenoblade.Oddyssey simply broke every single kind of expectations I had out of it, selling way more than any of us expected.As for Xenoblade, Im freaking happy that it broke 1 million units sold in one month!I had a feeling that it would happen, but its great to see it confirmed.

As for the hardware, its also mind blowing how fast it is selling.A healthy Nintendo is a helthy industry.

So Xenoblade finally breaks the 1m barrier. Very nice to see.

How much did the other Xenoblade games do?
