Hype, they want it to be true, so they decide it is.

Whereas the people saying it is shipped get responses such as:

"And we’re supposed to take your uneducated biased guess as opposed to actual figures from Nintendo?"

xD

Again it’s not rocket science. Nintendo don’t care whether it’s shipped or sold through. Shipped means sold. Really don’t know what the hang up is. Arguing over sold through seems bizzare when it’s sold either way!

Because if it was 14.86m sold-through then shipped would be 16m+

What's the sell through ?

Probably a million or two less?

Im inclinded to think theres probably around ~1m on shelves/in transit to stores ect.
That would mean its sold through around 14m now.

I think we’re arguing different points here. You’re correct in saying 14.86 isn’t sold through to customers and I’m correct in saying that same figure is still sold as it’s sold to retailers. It’s just different definitions of sold.

It doesn't really matter whether is sold through or not. It all means exactly the same to Nintendo.

But that's exactly what I said 6 hours ago, before you called me uneducated and biased. xD

"Sold is used to refer to both shipped and sold to consumers"

It does matter because if it was sold-through that means it would have shipped 16m+ units.

Shipping 14.8m and Shipping 16m+ doesn't mean the same thing to Nintendo.

My prediction was pretty spot on

15 million shipped

13.5 million sold

Clearly I was being uneducated at the time of writing :)

It does matter, this site tracks sell through so in order for this site to be most accurate than we need to know whether Nintendo is reporting shipped or sold (its shipped).

No it doesn't. Whether it's 14.8 shipped or 14.8 sold through, to Nintendo the money I'd already in their bank!
