The 3.94mil was for the end of June. It will be really interesting to see how many they shipped during the last Quarter. If they shipped none then it appears are data is fine. But if they shipped more, then our data looks like it may be wrong. Since i doubt there are that many copies of the game at retail.

Halo3 had 8.1mil sold to retail by the end of 2007. So who knows where the shipped data rests now.

Back in June, GTAIV shipped 11 million copies and sold 8.5 million. So having a big number of unsold for a game is certainly possible.
