Totally agree with you, your comment is true, and nobody see what it can give.
For example:
The 360 could have sold between 510k and 690k.
The wii could have sold between 210k and 390k.
So, all the bodies who says 300k and 600k, can say absolutely very false numbers.
If the true number are:
360: 510k
Wii: 390k
In this case the 360 has outsold the Wii by 1.3 to 1, which is not 2 to 1.
So, be careful when we only know LTD rounded to 100k.
For me, no reason that these numbers can not be true.
We have used them before, and we never doubt of them.
Maybe, you should go to this thread to see the french numbers:

The wii of 2009 is not the wii of 2008, as the 360.
Other thing, each week in the top 40 of chart track, the first platform is the 360 with 13 titles, when the wii has less titles. It was not this story the last year.
Other thing, maybe there is now all the bodies who want the wii, who has buy the wii, because 5,1m is a big installed base for UK.
And what about that where we don't have the nine last week (for europe, countries not clear):
