In the U.S. and Canada, Nintendo requires all retailers to provide them with the system serial numbers at the time of sale. So Nintendo does know how many DSes and Wiis are sold each day in those territories. I don't think they have such a system in Europe and have no clue about what goes on in Japan.
Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
