Nielsen's SoundScan rules prohibit reporting any album purchases that weren't made for 50% or more of retail value.

That said, they broke the rules for the Lady Gaga album that Amazon sold at a massive discount while making public statements that they weren't breaking their own rules.

Not sure if Jay-Z's sales were counted as well but I would definitely consider it Platinum* with an asterisk.
