Can we at least explain some portion of the shipped vs sold discrepancy with promotional deals not from the standard game retailers?

Over the course of the generation I've seen numerous promotional deals where the consoles have been up for grabs in prizes and gifted with purchase e.g. bundled free with the sale of TVs and even mobile phone plans. Is there any attempt to track these consoles and do we estimate that their number to be significant?
