Sony, Nintendo and MS don't have sales trackers guys.

So when they reveal black friday sales, they mean shipped. It doesn't mean they all sell, and since NPD track sold-to-consumers, there can be some difference here and there, since it's not likely they have sold every single console shipped.

Only Wii U number can be considered accurate, imo, since it's was sold out during that week.

That makes no sense. Those companies arent going to ship their console the week off blackfriday. Therefor they wouldn't have any knowledge of such figures then. They would only be able to comment on monthly numbers if anything since BF is at the end of the month and they would be shipping starting at the begining.
