OK, so VGC is attempting to adjust the 360 numbers for failure rates? That I wasn't aware of.
As for statistics and accuracy (for which I largely agree with Sqrl and Wangfoo)
I expect the "shipped" numbers reported by the manufacturers to be mostly accurate as far as raw totals.
I don't expect MS's numbers to include "sitting on shelves" or "shipped to replace broken hardware" numbers, which is why I was questioning their total.
With Nintendo, I've not heard of a huge failure rate with the Wii, and clearly the vast majority of what's shipped has been sold, so I think it fair to assume their "shipped" number to be very close to the "sold" number.
