An exact shipment figure from Microsoft would help put all this to rest. 66 million vs something like 66.8 million makes a somewhat significant difference, but I think even a flat 66 million would put them at a higher shipment figure for the calendar year?
In the grand scheme of things, shipped eventually equals sold anyway, barring total failures like E.T. and the Virtual Boy.
The shipped vs sold disparity only really tells us about each company's short-term momentum, but that's pretty obvious to everyone at this point, and it can be determined well enough with VGChartz's figures.

We only have to wait a week thankfully, but you're right, this won't be settled until shipments are revealed for both consoles.
If we're wildly off with NPD tomorrow perhaps that's an indication, I don't think we will be though.

Actually i think the undertrack for Xbox comes for Europe and A/MEA, i allways doubt those numbers, serious i know its not selling anything in Japan but having Ps3 at 150K in that region and only 70K in Japan means 80K in rest, while 360 was at ~30K. i have alot of doubts in these numbers i bet its undertracked by some thousands. Meanwhile Wii looks overtracked by 800K in Europe, lets see if 360 didnt outsold Wii in europe this holidays, Nintendo reports are gonna be funny.

Will be amazed if Nintendo provide those charts for Wii, don't think Wii outsold any console this holiday in any region bar 360 in Japan, and perhaps some smaller european countries, by a small amount. They'd just be shooting themselves in the foot.
