Pretty sure "shipped" isn't the same as "sold".

I'm sure that nowhere in the article did he confuse "shipped" with "sold".

If it's sold to the retailer, especially this early on, it's because the retailer believes that it will sell them through to customers.

But this is good news and I hope it leads to a MvC3DS this fall.

No, you're the confused one. I didn't say he was confusing the two. What I'm saying is, just because they SHIPPED that many, doesn't make it a successful title.

It's the best and most recognizable title from the 3DS launch. If they shipped 1mill WW, then I'm sure the sell through is pretty good too (What else are people gonna buy for 3DS at the moment?). If Capcom is just now reporting that they shipped 1 million then that means they have already gotten a restock order which means that the game is obviously selling.

We won't have solid US #'s till Thursday (NPD) and who knows when or if EUR #'s ever show up, but Capcom having got the order from retailers to ship them 1million units is a good sign for future Capcom fighters on the 3DS.

So I am not the one that is confused as to how "shipped" vs "sold" works nor did I feel the need to point it out as if everyone else didn't either.

Hey, this is pretty good news.

Also BlackNMild, thank you for clearing that up... that makes sense.

I hope RE Revelations does this well so that we can get more games of that caliber.

There isn't much news about how well SSFIV is selling outside of Japan, but by my generous estimate it has sold roughly 500K by now.

They definitely have huge piles on store shelves. Let's see them actually sell through those.

MvC3 I would love to have on the 3DS.  I just can't justify getting a fighter for the console where squeezing in a few matches is somewhat complicated compared to the 3DS.

Since the game is in 3D, it technically counts as 2 million shipped, but they're not legally allowed to announce that number.
