I think VGChartz tries to be as accurate as possible, so I think it's important to try to explain these differences or maybe make adjustments accordingly.
I fully agree with you that looking at the amount of units retailers bought from these companies are crucial for our estimations. But some consoles may take more storage space than others per unit, so the amount of units on the shelves may be different per console assuming equal shelf space per console.
