So NPD (US), Media Create (Japan), GfK (UK / Other Europe) and VGC (worldwide) are all wrong... ?!

I really don't know, but if we talk about undertracked all of the ones I listed above undertrack the PS3. Every single one. That does sound strange. But maybe Sony counts in a different way. Like consoles ordered, but not shipped or even sold to customer yet.

This is no trolling, just some thoughts.

 

Sony counts their consoles SHIPPED to retailers, and MS counts their consoles SOLD to retailers.

No, Sony's 'shipped' includes units still within the company's internal distribution or warehousing, so long as they're already sold to retail.  The change is that they used to also count unmanufactured 'sold' units as well as unsold excess stock they might have built up.

Nintendo is the only one I'm sure of who only counts literal 'shipped' units they no longer have possession of.
