A german magazine has spoken with Bernd Fakesch, the german Nintendo-boss, and he dropped some numbers. He said that the 3DS sold 900K units in Germany. Even if he talked about shipped numbers, that's totally off from the numbers here, that are 480K for Germany.

Other data he shared:

XL sold 20K in the "first days" (whatever that means).

9 million DS. (VGChartz = 8.37 million)

Wii has an installed base of 5.2 million. (VGChartz = 4.6 million)

Wii sold 200K this year. (VGChartz = 625K)

All this numbers seem rounded very much and it is unclear if he talks about sold or shipped. But 3DS-numbers are very much off, also VGChartz has way too much sold Wiis for this year (but too less overall). The Wii-discrepance makes somewhat sense, if he talks about shipped, that's why I would assume that.
