Technically all we ever know for sure are shipments plus the companies own estimates of "sold". The true sold to consumer is probably not known to anyone - all it takes is one small retailer in some emerging market not feeding back sales to force an estimate into everyone's understanding - but I guess between shipments and releases we should be able to have a fair view of sold to consumers.
Like the install base the sold number is fluid and always changing although the numbers are big enough any errors are hopefully small by comparison.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
