Shipped of course.

Wiimote > Move

That's what I thought initially, but no. In their press release (which you can see here for example - http://www.nintendoeverything.com/53904/) it says

"In the United States alone, more than 65.3 million Wii Remote controllers have sold through to consumers."

Nintendo have their own tracking service, so have access to "actually sold to consumers" numbers.

They also have NPD. Here is the original press release from Nintendo rather than these incomplete website posts.

If you read through you'll see that Nintendo says "according to the independent NPD Group".
