One thing always bothers me when MS or any major company releases sold to consumer numbers, how the hell do they know exactly how much every single retailer has sold world wide, bottom line they don't they are either guessing or releasing shipped numbers when it's close to being sold out because they can get away with it 

How can you say that?  Every single retailer worldwide will know exactly how many of each item they sold to consumers.  They have to keep track of this by law.  It would be very simple for MS to contact those retailers and cumulate all of them together.
